ZOTAC taps into NEN to draw out a truly powerful Steam Machine with minimalism, portability, and an all new design for a new way to game.

ZOTAC, the original Mini PC manufacturer, has been producing Mini PCs since 2008 and are continuing to innovate with more power, higher efficiency and smaller size.

NEN is the ability to tap into your innate aura, hone it, and utilize it to further yourself. ZOTAC has laid the groundwork for the NEN Steam Machine with the power, dormant and waiting. NEN is not simply a PC turned Steam Machine.

Game with pure brute of PC with a 6th gen Intel quad-core Skylake processor and NVIDIA GeForce GTX graphics hardware, and play with the precision of a console with the all new bundled Steam Controller. Hardware of the future, here today in the form of NEN.

Size, sound, acoustics, and lighting are all very important for a system that will anchor as the home entertainment center. ZOTAC engineers shrank all the functionalities and power to a mere height of two inches to ensure it fits neatly into the entertainment center while maintaining whisper quiet levels at maximum cooling performance utilizing dual radial coolers. It also features the ability to disable the power on LED so it will be just you and the game; an almost impossible feat of engineering just a few years ago.
