I just read about this on TomsHardware. This lil guy measures in at 5x5 inches and includes AMD's E-350 APU 1.6 dual core and Radeon's HD 6310 for onboard video.
Apparently they are selling a barebones and a 'plus' version. The plus version comes with a hard drive and memory for $275. The barebones has no price yet.
I'm interested in how this will work for XBMC.
The link for the barebone can be found herehttp://www.zotacusa.com/zbox-amd-e-350-a...d10-u.html
Here's a link covering the PC in great detail. Thanks goes to FNC1 for the find: http://www.kitguru.net/desktop-pc/zardon...us-review/

"New to the ZOTAC ZBOX nano AD10 series is an integrated infra-red receiver with bundled Windows Media Center compatible remote control a USB IR receiver is also bundled."
Does this mean there is a built-in IR receiver AND a USB one? Or is it a typo and it is just the USB one? If there is a built in IR receiver it will be a very neat little HTPC. |

if you look at the front pictures there seems to be an ir "window"

I wonder how this little guy measures up to the CULV ZBOX ND22...performance wise, ie: AEON MQ3, OS Win7/LIVE/Openelec, etc.

Pretty sure that they were going for as small of a form factor as possible... adding available slots would defeat that goal.
