A Closer Look

The top of the CI660 nano is comprised of a honeycomb-vented top plate out of plastic with the Zotac name in the center. Flipping the system over, we can see the bottom use the same honeycomb design with built-in support for the VESA mount. Four rubber-tipped screws hold the system together and act as feet for the chassis.


On the front, users will be happy to see two USB 3.1 Type C ports and a USB 3.0 Type A port. Headphone and microphone jacks are located on the front as well, along with a 3-in-1 card reader and the power button. The outside edge is detailed with a white plastic border that helps give the system some character and a nice bit of contrast in an otherwise all-black design. Much like the top and bottom, the left side features the same honeycomb venting to improve heat dissipation.


On the back, users will find the power port, HDMI port, DisplayPort, four USB 3.0 ports, two gigabit LAN ports, a wireless antenna connector, and a Kensington lock. It should be noted that the HDMI port is version 2.0 and the DisplayPort is version 1.2; both support 4K @ 60 Hz. Finally, that leaves the right side, which is similar to the left in that it features the same honeycomb-vented design for maximum heat dissipation.


While not quite as small as the ECS LIVA Z2, the Zotac ZBOX CI660 nano is still quite small, as seen here when compared to a 140 mm fan. It measures in at 204 mm x 129 mm x 68 mm (8.03 in x 5.08 in x 2.68 in).


The power adapter is manufactured by Delta Electronics and rated at 19 volts and 3.42 amps for a total output of 65 watts.


Mounting the unit to a monitor is exceptionally easy. The included VESA mount will work for 75 mm x 75 mm or 100 mm x 100 mm mounting options. All you need to do is mount the bracket to the monitor with the included screws. Once done, slide the Zotac CI660 nano into place on the bracket. With that done, the system is good to go. Just keep in mind that the mounting method allows for the system to be turned in any direction for maximum compatibility.
