Our joy was short-lived. The first review of ZOTAC's fanless ZBOX reveals a weird thermal pad (what's the point of a mesh case then?). And it's covered with
plastic. The 01net team had to disassemble the entire PC to peel it off, voiding the warranty!

Update: 80°C are unacceptable. This is clearly a design flaw, and a deal-breaker for us.
Update2: ZOTAC France tells us that this is an isolated human error.
Update3:
Isolated?
