 So this is the Z-Box, which I looked at a Z-Box a little while ago. This is a different one. So this is the Z-Box Blu-ray. It includes a copy of CyberLink PowerDVD, full version Blu-ray player. And this is a customizable barebones mini PC that features, as you may or may not be able to figure out, Blu-ray. So it's powered by Nvidia Ion, which means you also have Intel Atom going on inside. And it has a Blu-ray disc player, which I have mentioned a couple of times already. And why don't we start getting this thing open? Because most of the other stuff on the outside of the box is all stuff that we can see by opening the box. So what do you need to make a barebones mini PC into a complete mini PC? Well first, you'll need a 2.5 inch drive. And I would say hard drive, but you don't necessarily have to use a hard drive. You could use an SSD drive if you wanted a nice silent Blu-ray capable media PC. And you'll also need some SODIMM memory. And I'll find out once we get a little bit further into this, whether that is DDR2 or DDR3. Looks like it is DDR2, up to a maximum of 4 gigs. So that would be two sockets. Okay. And then last but not least, you will need an operating system, such as Windows 7. Okay, so here we have instruction, or what is this? This is a quick start guide, which gives you the full specifications of the unit. So why don't we have a look at what that is? So you've got an Intel Atom dual core. You've got the NM10Xpress chipset. We talked about memory already. Next generation Nvidia Ion GPU, so that is the second gen one. We had one USB 2, one combo eSATA slash USB 2. And then we have two USB 3 ports. That's a pretty cool feature. Okay, we talked about this gigabit LAN. Wi-Fi N, two channel high definition audio, although you're going to have support for 7.1 over HDMI. At least I'm assuming you will. You better. You do. Otherwise it wouldn't be a very good Blu-ray player, would it? Okay, let's open this up a little bit. Front view. Wow, this thing's like a poster. Look at this. Okay, so front view, system installation, connecting USB 3 devices, connecting a bunch of different devices. It gives you a color guide for installing your memory module, installing a hard disk, and installing a mini PCI Express card. Oh, so I see. Okay, so it doesn't come with Wi-Fi necessarily. It says it is 802.11 BGN compatible and enhanced wireless security compatible. So it looks like you will need to install a mini PCIe Wi-Fi card should you desire Wi-Fi. All right, next we have this, which includes some stuff. We have some warranty terms. So you have a one year warranty in the Americas. There's your CyberLink Blu-ray disk solution. And hopefully the serial number isn't on there anywhere where you guys are going to see that. Okay, there's your support CD, which includes drivers, which you should download the latest from the Zotac website. Here's your user's manual, which also includes a lot of the stuff that's on that poster that we found. And let's have a look at the unit itself. So the first thing... Oh, actually, no. We're going to get to the unit in a minute. We've got a VESA mount here. I'm not going to bother taking that out because it looks pretty firmly entrenched in there. But it's the same as the one you'd have on the normal Z-Box by the look of things. And we have a power brick, which is quite a bit larger than some of the atom-based PC power bricks that I've seen. But I guess part of that is because we are powering an optical drive. We do have some mounting screws for the VESA mount as well as a DVI to VGA adapter also in here. It's quite a bit heavier, too. I mean, I guess it doesn't really matter for a PC versus for like a netbook. Then I would actually care how heavy the power adapter is because you have to move around a netbook. Whereas with a PC, you don't really. All right, there we go. It actually kind of looks like a notebook, doesn't it? Like from the bottom? I would guess that that's a notebook and that there would be like a screen on the other side that flips up like this. So anyway, let's have a look at the front. It's a very slick looking little unit. I like it. You got like a brushed silver on the top along with a shiny glossy black here with a glowing blue ring. All right, then on the very front, you've got your Blu-ray drive, which is included, by the way. You've got an SD reader, your USB 2.0 port, USB 3.0 super speed port, headphones, microphone and a power switch. Moving along to this side, you've got a little ZOTAC logo there, which is quite classy. Hopefully you can see that in the camera. Moving along to the back, we've got our power in, a Kensington lock, because you might want to lock this baby up. You've got optical audio out, HDMI out, DVI out. So you got all the options you need. Remember you have VGA via this one with an adapter if you want. This is a USB 2.0 slash eSATA port, gigabit LAN and another USB 3.0 port. Remember USB 3.0 ports are backwards compatible, so you can easily plug USB 2.0 devices into them. So here we can see we've got easy access via six nice large size screws, just standard Phillips head, so you can take that whole thing off, install your drive, install your memory, should you so desire. And surprisingly, that's all there pretty much is to say about it. So thank you for checking out my unboxing of the, you know what, I wish I'd told you guys the product model at some point, the HD-ID 33BR. So the BR is for Blu-ray.
