Still, the quiet, the quietest!

I'm still very happy with the small powerhouse that of an office device with every now and then games will load all my needs perfectly righteous. Only I noticed that when graphically appealing programs, such as the prolonged playing of "South Park - The Stick of Truth", the thing passed with a blue screen. It seems to be a thermal problem when the unit is attached to the rear of the monitor bracket Vesa in an upright position. A small USB fan creates now the problem Remedy, the I switch if necessary.

For this reason I would now deduct half a star - as this does not go, it remains at five stars.

Finally, after 10 years, I have found the PC, I always wanted to have:

1. to have small, directly mounted on the monitor back standing around, no extra box is great
2. Completely noiseless passive thermal solution. No hum, hum or other "nuisance"
3. Sufficient power for everyday office and multimedia operation
4. No single cable more at your desk - thanks to wireless mouse and keyboard - simply great!

Honestly people, this is the best computer I've ever had. If you want to edit video, should be determined a PC with Intel i7 processor get, for all the other's doing the Kasterl completely. I would even argue that the cheaper model with the Intel i3 processor is perfectly adequate. If you want to save a bit here, can do this safely with a clear conscience.

In my Zotac ZBOX following components are installed:

1 x Kingston HX316LS9IB / 8 8GB RAM
1 x Samsung MZ-7TE1T0BW Series 840 EVO Basic internal SSD hard drive 1TB

the results under Windows 7 (Win 8 I refuse) following performance index:

Processor: 6.1
Memory: 7.2
Graphics: 5.0
Graphics (games): 6.4
Primary hard disk: 7.9

In my two monitors are connected, one to HDMI, the other on DisplayPort: AOC I2369VM 58.4 cm (23 inch) LED monitor. The Monitor settings were initially a little confusing because the Intel graphics driver of "Digital display" and "Digital Television" speaks. But this hurdle was taken quickly. All drivers are by the way not only to a disc available, but also on a small USB stick that comes with the box. Simply tuck, execute and click, click, click - you're done. Have the rarely experienced so convenient and easy. Drivers are available for Windows 7 and Windows 8 since.

The only drawback I can see is that of course, all ports (including USB and SD card reader) can now be found behind the monitor. This is impractical and that's why I'm going to find a small USB hub with an integrated card reader, so that these connections are easily accessible again. If someone now and then need a DVD burner, which can, like me, buy an external USB device to a few euros and take it in case of need from the desk drawer and connect.

Who plays with the idea to treat yourself to a passively cooled barebone system, and how I had doubts (te), if the thing as enough power for everyday use (Office, Internet, mail, etc.) brings, I can this box ans heart lay. The performance index speaks for itself. To work a dream, absolutely silent, fast, powerful and easy prima :-)
