Zotac releases Magnus EN980, a liquid cooled VR mini PC

Computex 2016 has seen many technology releases. Zotac is definitely the one among them. Well Zotac have created a liquid cooled mini-pc, Magnus EN980, which can handle VR specsat a much reasonable price.
Zotac announced the product few months back, but it made its debut at Computex in Taipei. This small but powerful device posses a desktop-class quad-core 2.7GHz Intel Core i5-6400 processor and Nvidia's GeForce GTX 980 graphics card. Other features include 16GB of RAM and a 240GB SSD. But this lacks any additional hard disk drive.

The Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 and Intel Core i5 processor signifies it's very powerful to meet the minimum requirements for VR. So you'll be able to use this with the HTC Vive or the Oculus Rift.
The key specs are:
  • Small PC
  • Uses two 180W power supply units due to limited space
  • Liquid cooling helps keep component temperatures down
  • Available from the end of June
Zotac indicates that the device will hit the market by end of June and with a starting price of$1,000. Well, you could be able to find the same specifications for cheaper price with a tower PC, but they won’t definitely fit as nicely into a small compact package.
