This has unfortunately resulted in the integration of some pretty low-performance CPUs to stay within thermal (and cost) limits, but this is beginning to change. One attractive aspect of the LIVA designs, and any of the low-power computers introduced recently, is the passive nature of such systems.

Though the LIVA X was not really fast enough to be used as a primary device it was small and inexpensive enough to be an viable product depending on a user’s needs. There are ways to get in the door cheaper (even less RAM, less ambitious storage), but cutting costs will slice performance in ways we wouldn’t recommend.I have reviewed a couple of mini-PCs in the past few months, most recently the ECS LIVA X back in January. All said and done, you will spend anywhere from $350 to $600 (if you really go nuts) just to get the EN1060K-U up and running. A minimalistic dual-channel kit of memory will cost you roughly $70 a moderate-capacity M.2 NVMe SSD goes for around $120 and a 2.5” HDD can run you $60 or so for 1TB of space.

In addition to needing a Windows license key (about $100), end users of the barebones version will have to purchase their own memory and storage. This is particularly useful, considering there’s no optical drive. However, the company gives you two options to load your drivers: a typical installation DVD, or a thumb drive. The Zotac Zbox Magnus EN1060K-U is a barebones PC, so it doesn’t come with an operating system or any software. We loaded the EN1060K with our usual barebones components (an M.2 NVMe SSD, an 8GB kit of memory, a 1TB 2.5” SATA HDD) that we’ll detail on the next page. Replace the tray, slide the connectors into place, and tighten it back with the thumbscrew. You will attach your drive of choice using the four plastic pegs protruding from the tray’s inner sides, making sure to position the drive with the SATA connectors on the opposite side of the thumb screw hole. The 2.5” drive tray can be removed by loosening the thumbscrew and pulling the plastic away from the PCB.
