According to a short video made by Hexus.tv during CeBIT 2014, it appears that Zotac is working on a new C-series ZBox mini-PC which will be completely passive cooled.

While most of Zotac's ZBox mini-PC, as well as any other SFF system from other manufacturers, were quite nice looking little living room systems, the size restrictions usually meant that manufacturers have to cool everything with a rather small and noisy fans, which is definitely not something that you want in your living room.

Apparently, Zotac will soon announce its new C-Series (C stands for Cool) ZBox mini-PCs which will be based on Intel's Bay Trail as well as AMD Temash A6 APU. While Zotac did not reveal any specific details regarding the hardware, they did not that we should see it just before Computex 2014, scheduled for 3rd of June.

Zotac's representative also noted that the new C-Series should cost somewhere between €250 and €350 depending on the actual configuration. Both APUs and Intel's SoCs are getting quite powerful with quite low TDP and mini-PCs will soon be quite impressive little systems, especially if you can get them to be passively cooled.
