Zotac has this media-friendly SFF computer thing pretty much nailed. For years the company has been churning out ever [smaller](http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/07/zotacs-zbox-nano-vd01-packs-dual-core-via-cpu-in-a-tiny-tiny-b/) machines purpose built for living rooms and media servers. The StreamBox and RAIDbox aren't standalone computers, but accessories that build on the home theater capabilities of their [ZBOX](http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/07/zotac-zbox-id83-id42/) PCs. The StreamBox pushes content to your TV from a laptop, Android smartphone or tablet using DLNA or [Miracast](http://www.engadget.com/tag/miracast) for mirroring your portable's display. In addition to the 10/100 Ethernet jack and dual-band 802.11 a/b/g/n radios, there's also a USB port on board for connecting external storage devices. What kind of storage devices, you ask? Well, how about the USB 3.0 RAIDbox that was unveiled alongside the StreamBox. The box itself doesn't ship with any drives inside, but you can slip in a pair of mSATA SSDs and it wont even require an external power supply. Sadly, the really important details like price and availability haven't been announced, but you can still read the PR after the break.
