Gigabyte has added a couple of new compact Brix systems to its lineup, both of which pack an impressive arsenal of hardware in a chimney-style chassis that measures 276mm x 384mm x 128mm. That’s small folks!
There are two configurations to choose from. The first is the GB-GZ1DTi7-1080-OK-GW, which as the model number suggests is built around a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 Gaming G1 graphics card with 8GB of GDDR5 memory. Gigabyte paired it with an Intel Core i7-6700K processor and stuffed 32GB of DDR4 memory inside.
A 240GB M.2 SSD handles primary storage duties while a 1TB HDD (7,200 RPM) occupies the chassis bulk storage. Powering all of the hardware is a custom designed 400W PSU.
Other features include 802.11ac Wi-Fi, GbE LAN (Killer E2400), three USB 3.0 Type-A ports, a single USB 3.1 Type-A port, a single USB Type-C port (USB 3.1/Thunderbolt), and separate headphone and microphone jacks.
Gigabyte’s other model is the GB-GZ1DTi7-1070-NK-GW with the same general hardware and features, except that it wields a GeForce GTX 1070 Gaming G1 graphics card and half the amount of RAM at 16GB. Everything else is the same.
These are intended to be high-end gaming desktops capable of playing at a 4K resolution or with a VR headset. They could also be used as portable desktops for LAN parties too!
Gigabyte has not disclosed when the new Brix configurations will be for sale or their cost.
