The video tours Zotac’s Computex 2015 booth highlights, starting with the EN970 ZBOX concept which is pitched as a customizable Steam Machine. The presenter notes a new blackout design and an LED ring around the power button that can be turned off in the BIOS, with plans for a future product name. Inside the ZBOX, the barebones variant is described as having two 2.5 inch drive slots, two SO-DIMM memory slots, an M.2 slot, and an i5 Broadwell processor, with integrated Nvidia 970M graphics and 3 GB of GDDR5 memory. The presenter then shifts to graphics cards, detailing four variants of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti from Zotac. The base AMP edition uses a triple-fan cooler with a wraparound backplate, and costs only slightly above the reference card. The AMP Omega adds a larger, dual-blade fan design and occupies two and a half slots, while the AMP Extreme mirrors the Omega’s cooler but emphasizes front and top lighting and stronger overclocking potential. Finally, the Arctic Storm is introduced as a water-cooled or hybrid option with heavy duty construction and a mounting bracket for chassis support, signaling Zotac’s push into more extreme cooling solutions. Overall, the video combines hardware previews, design notes, and a call to action for viewer feedback, inviting comments and engagement while acknowledging sponsors and event coverage. The presenter closes with thanks to MSI and Linda.com for Computex support, and hints at more product coverage to come, especially around the new cooling and gaming hardware on display.
