Customer Review

Have on the system OpenELEC (aka Kodi aka XBMC) installed and operate the ZBOX combined with 4GB of RAM and a 2 TB hard drive notebook, which indeed makes some noise, but that is from 2 meters no longer be heard. A colleague has the same system with SSD, because it is absolutely silent.
Most peculiar is helpful, this is the "headphone out" at the same time a "SPDIF" / "TOSLINK" output. A small adapter is included. Thus you can also connect an "older" sound system, without having to give up 5.1.
The temperature remains idle between 50 and 60 C, under load it goes out 70 C. Ergo: the cooling is working properly ...

If the system can only put all my heart that (like me) need a no quiet PC, home server or a media player. The price can I call fair only as an absolute.
Somewhat confusingly, the Amazon information on the product. For example, "520 size" and "ID18". The CI540 CI520 is neither a nor a ID18, you should disconnect the shop clean.
The SPECIFIED "8GB RAM" is simply wrong as a barebones neither RAM nor has a HD.
So I bought 4GB RAM and a HDD, it will go up to 8 GB of RAM and an optional 2.5-inch hard disk or SSD with a maximum 9.5 mm height.
