Playing House: 20 Petite Houses to Inspire
Before the adult realities of keeping house set in, children love to play house. They enact the rituals they see their parents engaged in, they exert their otherwise limited power over their own domain and give their imaginations free reign. That's what's so special about play houses - their diminutive size inhibits too much adult oversight.
I sort of had a play house growing up - our garage was an old two-story barn that my sisters and I (and the neighborhood kids) had run of. We had a couch, fold out cots and metal cups and plates from an old picnic set. We didn't so much play "house" as Olympics dormitory - to each their own.
If you are considering a play house for your kids (or, like me, just enjoy fantasizing about one), here are twenty to browse through. They're all DIY to some extent. Some were made by parents wholly from scratch while others were bought second hand and totally spiffed up.

I'm extremely tired (not sure why I'm still browsing) so all I can think is, 'Oh no, another space to clean'.
But really, I just wish I had that pink one to curl up in.
these are all so darn cute! i hope to find something in a yard sale or craigslist to revamp for my daughter.
totally worth the time, money and effort.. my children have an elevated playhouse with an extra open space build on the side serving as an extra wide balcony or space they can sit and draw and create on with access by steps or slide... they would live in it if i allowed!
I just saw last week that the Queen's childhood playhouse has been rejuvenated because of the Jubilee. It's so charming, a 2/3 scale replica of a real house, fun to look at and for ideas. Here's a link to a video about it.
Fabulous roundup! I love the mix of traditional and modern - it shows there's really a style (and price point) for everyone.
I was blown away by the house in Sao Paolo from The Selby - they deserve a post all about their kids' rooms.
I want number 2 fitted out as an art studio!
LOVE these! All so creative. Now I need some grandkids.
#9 is the CUTEST little house! I love the loft inside!
Love them all. My dad built me an INCREDIBLE playhouse in the mid-80's. It had a loft inside an an exterior deck and minitature pieces of wood furniture he built from scratch. I loved it so much!

I got call last week from a very nice lady about my recent story on 'Strings'. Her name was Helen Day of Crane Creek. She was telling me how much she enjoyed my stories and went on to ask me why I didn't write anything in my story about a 'whizzer'?
Well to tell you the truth, I had to ask her just what was a 'whizzer'? It didn't take long before I knew exactly what she was talking about. So let me tell you about our conversation.
Helen told me, "A 'whizzer' is where you take a string and thread it through two holes in a big coat button and tie the string's ends together in a loop. Next, place the string over your 'hooked' first (or fore) finger on each hand. Then, you start swinging the button in a circular motion to 'wind' the strings two sides together over and over again twirling the button around and around. After that just spread you hands apart and the button will whirl over and over again each time you spread and contract your hands"
I told Helen, "Your not going to believe me but I just forgot to put it in. I thought about it lying in bed one night, but when it got to writing my story, I forgot to put it in."
It was perpetual motion over and over as the button spin faster and faster when we spread and contracted our hands. It also made a humming sound as the big button reached blinding speeds.
I didn't know that they were called a 'whizzer' even though that toy was one of my favorites. I think we called the toy a 'hummer' (But that name would never work today, would it).
I also remembered another toy after I wrote my last story that involved a string. It was in the late 60's or early 70's when someone in our family bought a toy called 'Clackers'.
Clackers were nothing more that two solid, thick glass (or later on, hard plastic) balls tied to each end of a heavy duty nylon string about two feet long. By holding the middle of the string and moving the forearm and hand in a constant up-and-down motion the thick glass balls to collide first at the bottom (below the hand) and, when enough bounce was achieved, the top (above the hand) as the bounced back and forth.
Once you got the rhythm of the motion going, the collision of the balls striking each other made a loud "clacking" noise thus the name. The faster you moved your forearm and hand up and down the faster and louder the annoying noise would get.
I remember lots of bruises on my forearms and hand that were caused the heavy glass balls until I got the hang of it. I also remember once getting hit in the head with one of them and believe me; it left a knot on my head big enough for a calf to suck on!
Many a parent was driven to profanity by this nerve-racking noise, but that was only the start of the 'Clackers' problems.
Not long after that, Momma found out on evening news that the Clackers had another danger, a hidden one. When the Clackers were smacked together long enough and hard enough those thick glass balls would shatter, sending glass shrapnel everywhere.
After hearing that, Momma said that the Clackers had to go and Daddy was glad to oblige her.
I can still see the Clackers' balls swapping end over end as they flew through the air and wrap around a limb in the top of that big oak tree behind our house. I told Daddy he sure was good with those Clackers and asked if he had been playing with them while we weren't watching.
He then asked me "Why?"
I laughed told him, "Well, judging from the way you threw those balls. You threw those just like David, from the Bible, when he killed Goliath with his sling."
I was reminded again by the way he looked at me that Daddy didn't have a good sense of humor sometimes. On my way back to the house I considered myself lucky that I didn't get a red butt to go along with that big knot on my head.
Yep, just when Clackers got interesting, the press caused the toy company to cease production. Clackers then forever moved into the realm of schoolyard rumor and urban legend.
Clackers did make a comeback later in the 90's but they were of the safer (in other words, more boring) plastic kind that didn't have the bounce or the noise that the glass ones had and they fizzled out fast.
I would really like to have a set of the old glass ones if someone has a pair lying around their house somewhere. I just want to see if I still got the rhythm.

Who today would ever think that a simple string could entertain a kid. Well, nobody today. I'm sure of that. But back in the days when I was young, little things like a string were special. When you got a hold of good string it was a treasure and not to be thrown away.
I remember the first time I saw my Daddy take a simple string tied in a loop make a "teacup and saucer". I asked, "How did you do that?"
He then took the string and placed it up my two hands. Slowly Daddy showed me the technique and then, I was hooked. From teacups and saucers to crows-feet and cat's cradle and then to see-saws and the hardest of all, Jacobs ladder, Daddy showed me all the moves. I carried that string in my pocket or around my neck forever showing everyone I met how Daddy had turned a simple string into a poor boy's toy.
I also used a string to make my first bow to shoot stickweeds at rabbits, birds, ground squirrels and even a stray dog or two. I never did kill anything, I didn't really want too. But it was fun to imagine my self as a young brave with a rooster's tail-feather tied with another string around my head as I hunted the forest around my home.
String was sometimes used a miniature coral to keep up my small plastic horses, cows and pigs. At other times the string would be a barbwire fence to hold off the Germans as they attacked the GI's of the American Army. The homeboys always won. Just like my Daddy did in World War II.
I once found an arrowhead at Huey Barger's, a neighbor of ours. I took a string and tied the artifact around my neck as a piece of jewelry. I loved that arrowhead and it hooked me on finding more and more.
We also used string as a telephone. All it took was a couple of Carnation Cream cans with the top cut out smooth. A hole was then put into the other end with a nail. Then, a long string was run through the hole in each and secured by a knot inside the can. When stretched tight enough the sound of our voices could be heard clearly at distances of 50 feet or more. Two string tied to one can became the first party line.
I laughed the other day when I saw the Progresso commercial on TV as the appeared to do the same because I knew it would never carry sound the way they had it.
When I needed a belt to hold up a pair of "passed-down" pants that were too big, a string came in handy. When I broke a shoestring and didn't have one to replace it with I used a doubled piece of string to make do.
A string tied to a stick would make perfect circles in the clean dirt for a game of marbles or a game of hopscotch. String would sometimes be used between two popsicle sticks as a splint to hold a finger straight after a dislocation or an injury.
I once used a string to tie two lead pencils together to cut my writing time in half. I never did chew gum in class again after writing that five-hundred times.
Dad could measure a string or a rope within an inch or two easily. He taught us that a string held by our thumb and forefinger stretched to our armpit would be close to two-feet in most adults.
I also remember Mamma whittling an old empty sewing thread spool down to make us a yo-yo. She split the spool in half, cut them down to about a half-inch wide and joined them with a small wooden dowel through the hole in the middle. The yo-yo was then wound with a string to make another perfect homemade toy.
She once even made us tops with the wooden spools from thread. She would take her whittling knife and shape one end of the spools and then cut another wooden stick from a limb to insert all the way through the center hole, sharpening on end to a point. Her tops would spin forever it seemed.
We also made a toy out of a piece of wood about a quarter-inch thick and 8-1/2 inches long. The edges of the wood were then planned down much like an airplane propeller. Then notches were carved into the edges. A hole was place near the end of the piece of wood and a long string was attached.
When this contraption (I can't remember the real name of what they were called but we called them whirly-birds) was twirled above our heads the vibration made a humming sound like a helicopter.
Mamma taught us how to make stilts. Daddy showed us how to make slingshots. Both were great working with everyday things we could find around the house.
We might not have had a lot of money to buy toys with when we were growing up but with two parents like mine we were never bored. They showed us how to have fun. Real fun that never cost a penny. And for that, I am forever grateful.

\They say that time heals all hearts and if that's so, I'm still waiting.
Holidays are the toughest for me now it seems. Thanksgiving and Christmas just aren't the same anymore.
When my Momma and Daddy were alive every holiday meant a house full of family. So many that there was barely enough room at the two big tables.
I realize now that my parents were the glue that held the rest of the family together. And after they passed my family was broken off into seven different individual pieces.
I know that I'm not the only person around that has gone through these feelings. The story has been told for generations and it will be retold for many more. I just didn't know how hard it would be.
When I was young I never thought much about mortality. Or maybe, I just didn't want to think about it. I never thought my parents would ever get old, much less die. But time doesn't stop for anyone. And I've found out lately, that the older I get, the faster time goes by.
Lately, I look in the mirror and ask myself, "Who is that old person staring back at me? He sure looks a lot like my Daddy." And then I start to think, "Where does time go?"
Then I walk outside my front door and stare through the quiet, deadness of daybreak. I used to love my alone time as a kid but now, not so much. My step has slowed quiet a bit. A fall might break a bone. My muscles ache more and more from my aging years and it takes longer now just to get my feet moving. I realize now, I am much like my father and my grandfather before him.
But everything isn't gloom, I'm glad to say. In the past three years my two children have blessed Margy and me with three beautiful grandchildren. And boy, are they a handful! I had always heard my Momma and Daddy tell of how strong a grandparents love for grandkids were but I never knew how strong that could be. Now, I know.
It seems my bones and muscles don't ache as much when I look into their gleaming eyes. At least, not until I get home and realize I've overdone it again by playing horsey, pitching them up in the air or just chasing after them all over the house. I'm sure you know how small kids loved to be chased.
But you know what, I go back day after day and do the same things over and over again. Grandchildren will make you do that. Their laughter and smiles more than pay the price for the pain I will feel afterwards.
I wish my parents would have had a chance to meet my three little angels. I can just hear my mother saying, "Bless their little hearts". Momma said that a lot because she loved kids. I guess that would be an understatement knowing the size of our family.
Boy you should have seen us packed into my parent's home on Christmas Day. The grandkids and great-grandkids were like a herd of wild horses running through the house. The older kids would be trying to control them but it was no use. I remember it never seemed to bother Momma. She would never say a word.
The older kids would be dressed in their best clothes for that special day and the women of the family would be showing off their new jewelry or new clothes. I remember once Daddy got Momma a new Aigner leather coat. She screamed like a teenager as she opened up her present. She barely took it off that Christmas day. She would say later, it was the best present Daddy ever got her.
Yep, the holidays sure seemed a lot happier and merrier to me when our big family was together at one house, sitting at one table with Daddy at the head and Momma beside him. They were the glue that held us all together.
We all over ate every year swearing to never do it again as we sat in the living room talking, singing or playing set-back or rummy in the kitchen after the dinner table was cleaned off. The winner always stayed up with losers rotating to challenge them again.
Holidays are just not that way anymore. Everyone now is just too busy. And the sad thing is, I don't think holidays will ever be that way again. I'm starting to realize now that I guess it's just too hard to put the pieces back together after the glue is gone.

She was a girl that could fight like a man with a punch like the kick of a mule. I guess, if I had to describe the boxing ability of my oldest sister, that's what it would be.
Jackie's record on that Christmas Day long ago was 4 wins with 0 defeats, all by TKO and all against male boxers. I should know. I was her first victim as she climbed the ladder on her way to become the undisputed champion of the Miller house.
It was 1960 and Cassius Clay, then known to the world as Mohammad Ali, had just won his gold medal in the summer Olympics. Back then boxing was a big sport. We had begged all year for Dad to tell Santa that we wanted two pair of boxing gloves for Christmas.
Momma of course, was afraid one of us would get hurt and tried to talk us into asking for something else, but our mind was made up. We wanted those boxing gloves bad.
So you can imagine the surprise on that Christmas morning when low and behold, Santa had came through. Under the tree, was a box with a tag taped to the wrap that read, "To: The Miller Family, From: Santa".
We all fought over who would get to unwrap the box from Santa. With a quick tear of the paper covering the box were the words that read, "Jack Dempsey Original Boxing Gloves". The fighting started as soon as the box was opened over who would be the first to get to tie the gloves on.
Gary and Ronnie, the oldest of my brothers, got the honors. Momma again warned that the gloves were not toys and if someone got mad, then someone would probably get hurt. We all tried to assure her that we were only going to just "spar around" with one another and promised no one would get mad.
Jackie and me laced up the gloves on our two brothers and the fighters took their corner. A metal pot was brought from the kitchen to serve as a bell along with a tablespoon to use as the striker. Clang, the pot rang out as round one opened.
At first the boxing was mostly just jabbing and moving as the boys weren't sure just how it would feel to be punched with the gloves. After a few striking blows to each others bodies, the punching got a little harder as each contestant was now swinging wildly.
Everything was going great until Gary connected with a hard right to the face of Ronnie. Then, Ronnie retaliated with a haymaker of his own. Dad stepped in just as the bell rang to separate the two fighters. Momma was now more worried than ever and warned Dad that someone was going to get hurt.
Dad agreed that the two were getting a little too mad at each other and told them that was enough for the first fight and that they needed to cool off awhile. The boys argued over who had won the fight as we untied the gloves and removed them from their hands. Next, it was time for Jackie and me to tie them on.
As Gary was lacing my gloves up he was telling me that the gloves didn't hurt that much but I should stay away from Jackie as much as possible. I didn't need anyone to tell me that. I remembered of a time when we got into a fight with Jackie and it had taken all three of us to hold her down. My plan was to be on my toes and moving fast.
When the bell clanged, I danced my way around the living room trying to stay as far away from her as possible. Jackie, just took a couple of steps towards me, cut off my exit, and pounded me with some hard, quick punches. I threw in the towel fast.
Next, Ronnie wanted to take on the champion and I was glad he did. I didn't want any more of Jackie's punishment. We laced Ronnie up and he charged at Jackie when the bell sounded. A couple of seconds later, Ronnie was on the floor looking up and more than glad to get he gloves off too.
Gary then stepped in determined to show his big sister who was boss of the Miller house. When the metal pot was struck for the third time Gary was a little more cautious than Ronnie had been. Gary had witnessed the power in Jackie right hand and was moving to his right in an attempt to stay away for her.
Once again Jackie cornered Gary and wailed away on him until Dad stepped in and stopped the fight. The repeated blows had reddened Gary's face. Gary was madder than a hornet. But, he wasn't about to let her get away with what she had done and demanded another round. Momma said no but Gary wouldn't take no for an answer.
Gary kept on begging for another chance at Jackie as she danced with her gloves in the air as she taunted him about her being the champion. Dad finally said, "Okay, but I don't want either one of you hurting the other. Both of them agreed but you could tell Gary wanted revenge bad.
The pot was again struck with the spoon and they both charged like two bulls in an arena with fists flying. Gary was ducking his head and swinging wildly as Jackie placed a hard uppercut to his face. Her glove had met squarely with Gary's nose as his head snapped back quickly. Blood began to spill onto the floor.
Momma jumped from the couch, separated the two, and rushed Gary to the kitchen sink to clean his face. "There will be no more boxing in this family," Momma demanded. "Jamup, get rid of those gloves now!"
Dad didn't argue. He never said a word as he untied the gloves from Jackie and Gary and walked to the living room with the gloves in hand. Dad then opened the top door to the potbelly stove in the living room and tossed the gloves into the hot coals. No one said a word or tried to stop him. Momma had spoke and Dad had listened.
Our tough sister was given the name of Jackie "Dempsey" after that day. And no one argued with her either. After all, she was the champion and we knew it.

Daddy said he barely caught a glimpse of the two does as they dashed out of the woods into a green field as he passed by in his truck on that cold November day. Kentucky's deer season was in its third day and that year had been like all the others before for him, no buck. But Daddy's luck was about to change.
My Daddy grew up much like most of the boys in his generation. They never had a lot of time to do the things that most boys do like fishing and hunting. Daddy was the oldest of eleven siblings and he had to grow up fast.
Times were hard and just living was tough because of the depression that struck in the 30's. "It was extra hard here" Dad said, "People almost starved to death during that awful time."
Daddy had to help in every way he could to feed the family. In the 1940 Census, when he was 16, he was listed as a farmer with an income of under $200.00 a year. His dad, Rufus Sr., was a blacksmith with an income of under $300.00 per year.
From farmer, to soldier in WWII, to coal miner and then grocer that was my Daddy's vocational journey. He raised 7 kids and lots of times many more called our house home. In other words, Daddy didn't have much time in his entire life to do the things that most men do. Daddy had had a family to feed since his early teenage years.
As he got older, when my brothers and me were at home we did get to go fishing but most of times Daddy wasn't with us. He was working to make sure we had food on the table. One thing I can tell everyone who reads this story, we never went hungry. Dad made sure of that.
I can only remember a handful of times we got to go hunting with him either. Most of the things I learned about the outdoors was taught to me by my Pap Paw Burkhart. He was a true mountain man.
But as Daddy got older and better off financially, he tried to do the things he missed out on working and raising a family. He loved to fish. He even owned an aluminum boat or two in his lifetime. Nothing fancy, just a 5 or 10 hp gas motor to push the boat when we went fishing to Woods Creek. He loved that place.
Daddy, Mommy and myself made many trips there later in his life after all of my brothers and one of my sisters had married and left home. Those were times I will never forget. I could see that he too loved the outdoors but I guess he never had the time to show it.
Later on, Daddy got bit by the deer hunting bug. All it took was a successful hunt for a group of us at Fort Knox. There were 24 of us from Horse Creek who all got drawn to hunt there in 1972. The hunt was more than any of us could have hoped for.
There were 4 in our party, Gary my brother, Gilbert Ray my uncle, Tim Sibert my cousin and me all got 8-point bucks. Five of the other hunters in our group got smaller bucks or does. We came home with a truckload of deer. From that day forward Daddy had the itch to kill him a buck.
But he still never had the time to get serious about bagging his deer. He hunted off and on for more than 20 years without any luck. He even went 12 years in a row and didn't even see a deer. The deer hunting gods never smiled on Daddy it seemed.
He lost interest and never hunted too much after those years not even seeing a deer thinking he would never get his chance at a big buck. His patience was wearing thin and it got to where he would only hunted for an hour or two on the days when he felt like hunting. All ended the same with a long walk back to his truck empty handed. But little did he know, his luck was about to change.
That fateful morning started out just like all the others. It was a cold Monday morning and I had to work at IGA so that left Daddy to hunt alone at Fogertown. His crippled leg was aching from the cold weather and again he had called it a day after holding out as long as he could stand it. Again, he hadn't seen a deer.
Back at the truck his aging cold hands could barely get the key in the door to unlock it. He sat for a while as he warmed himself up tucked inside the cab out of the cold air. He finally put his Chevy truck in reverse and backed out of the drive onto the highway. It was 17 miles back to Paw Paw and he wasn't in a hurry so he scanned the fields through the truck window on the drive back.
Daddy had only gone about 3 miles when he noticed the two does in the open field. He pulled his truck off to the side of the road knowing that sometimes a buck would follow because the rut was in full swing. It didn't take long for his wishes to come true.
A huge 10-point buck followed the does into the field. The love-struck monster was in hot pursuit of one of the does with his nose to the ground tracking her every move. Daddy knew he would have to act quickly.
He got out of the truck, fumbled through his hunting coat and found three deer-slugs and reloaded his shotgun. He said he was shaking so bad when he threw the gun up to his shoulder that it was hard to stay on the buck's body with his open-sights. To steady himself he laid the shotgun across the hood of the truck, took his aim and squeezed the trigger.
The buck jumped at the sound of the old .20 gauge. Smoke was still clearing the barrel as the buck crumpled up after running only a few yards. Daddy had finally gotten his buck.
He said later that he stepped off 180 yards to where the deer lay dead. I told him that was a heck of a shot that he had pulled off. And I laughed a little to myself when he told me he had held the bead of the shotgun "… dead on the top of the deer's back."
He then told of how he had to drive his truck through the field to the deer to tie a rope to the truck to drag the huge deer out because he was by himself. He said he wouldn't have gotten the big boy in the truck bed if not for the help of a hunter passing by.
Yep, Daddy had finally gotten his deer. And he thought it was a new world's record. Well, it was to him. He hauled that deer around the rest of the day with the tailgate down and he had a story for everyone who wanted to listen. He also had him mounted to show later to everyone who came to his house. He was so proud of his buck.
My Daddy hunted a few years after that but he died before getting the opportunity to take another deer. It turned out his first buck was also his last.
After Daddy died Momma gave me the mount. Now, every time I pass the big buck that hangs in my garage I smile a little and reminisce of the day that made my Daddy surely one of the proudest hunters in all of Clay County.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Metra 70-7302 Receiver Wiring Harness This vehicle-specific wiring harness makes connections between your new car stereo and your car's electrical system. First, attach the color-coded wires on your Crutchfield-supplied harness to the wires from your new stereo. If you're not using a soldering iron, we recommend that you purchase some wire connectors to secure the connections. Check out our handy article on three ways to connect the wiring harness here. Now, once this harness is connected to your new stereo, you'll be able to plug right into your car's factory radio connector. This harness saves installation time since you won't have to cut factory wires individually, and this also enables you to re-install the factory radio if needed. A detailed instruction sheet comes with the harness. Warranty: 60 days. Please read this important note: This harness may not contain provisions for every wire needed to complete your installation, and it will not accommodate special navigation, video, or factory steering wheel control connections. You will need a special adapter if you want your factory steering wheel audio controls to work with your new stereo. See more info on this item Note: Most vehicles will require additional installation parts please identify your vehicle if you haven't done so, then check here for a list of parts. You can also call an Advisor for more information. Hands-on research from the Crutchfield Labs (what are the Labs?) What's in the box? | In-depth notes Product Research What's in the box?

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Crutchfield Wiring Harness: Crutchfield wiring harnesses prevent you from having to cut your vehicle's factory radio plug when replacing your factory radio with an aftermarket head unit. Simply solder or crimp the Crutchfield wiring harness to your aftermarket head unit's harness (solder & crimps not included), plug the aftermarket head unit's plug into the rear chassis of the aftermarket head unit, and plug the Crutchfield wiring harness into your vehicle's factory radio plug. Note: Installation tools, hardware, & accessories are not included & sold separately. Please see the Accessories tab for recommendations & availability. Wiring Notes: If the Crutchfield wiring harness is not equipped with a ground wire, you will need to ground the aftermarket head unit's ground wire to the metal chassis of your vehicle. Some vehicle's may require you to bypass the vehicle's factory amplifier (in another location from factory radio) or hardwire certain connections. If your vehicle is equipped with factory steering wheel controls, an additional adapter is required & sold separately.

This would be so awsome for college.
These are nice little machine!
Nice. Would be nice as a little media server for the living room.
Another giveaway already? HH continues to surprise me! Sure I'll throw my name in there! Good luck everyone!
I am willing to give this a try. It could help me with my computer controlled lights and music for Halloween and Christmas.
I love the small form factor that zotac offers with the nano lines, however i have been somewhat disappointed in the processors and ram sets offered by this model. Its a great machine with some unique uses and factors. its not a gaming laptop or anything but it can definitely get the job done on any web browsing or word processing/spreadsheet manipulation.
Nice! You guys always keep the goods coming! Good luck to everyone.
Now you're just mashing it!
Not only would this be a great little machine for the average internet-browsing person, but it looks like it'd be quite useful for a CS major like myself. It has plenty of USB ports to connect devices, and would fit nicely in a dorm room and serve as a cute little powerhouse for coding!
Wow, could use this in the new library I'm building (in lieu of the Man Cave I really want)! We use a lot of Zotac video cards here at $WORKPLACE and I've been pretty impressed.
It seems I already had all the steps completed. My odds may not be the best since I have won before but I'll gladly throw my name in the hat for this beauty. Thanks to HotHardware and ZOTAC :)
"I have the power!!"
That's nice, I would appreciate one of these.
I would love to win
This Product looks great .. This would be great for college and when round other people. I find that your Giveaway's are always good but you know you have a minimal chance of winning but if someone else wins it I'm sure they will make the most use out of it
I would love to win this for my granddaughter
What a great giveaway.
Thank you HotHardware.
Pretty cool little unit. Would love to see how it performs. it would be nice to be able to just unplug it and bring it wherever you go!
this would be amazing, I have no pc right now and this surpasses anything that i could hope to purchase right now.
Well this looks pretty interesting awesome and neat looking machine.
Chips Ahoy and Avast Antivirus, ye Snoop dogs! Happy International Talk Like A idiot Pirate Day! Yo-ho-hoist some iced tea grog for a bribe chance to pillage win a booty-licious diamond-encrusted pill box ZOTAC ZBOX nano AD12 Plus mini-PC!All ye LAN-lubbers need do is walk the plank make some mutinous relevant comments and then get fed to the sharks noticed.
anyone know its dimensions and weight? sounds awesome!
Fits in the palm of me hand?
Yarr, this would make a perfect Stepmania box/ Media center. Seriously, lugging your rig around just to play a dance game at other people's houses is such a pain.
anyone know its dimensions and weight? sounds awesome!
From what I can tell, it looks smaller than a severed head and probably weighs a lot less.
It's nice that this ZBOX has so many USB inputs...and yet that it's completely wireless capable.
Hot Hardware has taken a look at these a few times (although not this specific build), just search for Zotac on the site.
These little buggers do really well as a HTPC, and have a cool design too!
Around 4.17" x 4.17" x 1.46". That's tiny!
And yes, that's smaller than a severed head
I'm sure this would make a great PC to connect to the TV in my living room.
Too bad it is smaller than the Zotac Geforce GTX-295 video card I have...LOL
look really nice :) i would love it
I would love this. I am wanting to start storm chasing and this would be the perfect to get started. Its small enough to fit on the back of a car mounted monitor and it is powerful enough to run all the programs that I would need to run to not only track radar but also receive data from vehicle mounted wind sensors. I want it bad.
My mind is blown...Ive never even heard of something like this.....A minipc....I feel like Ive been living under a rock for the past few years...
that could be fun to win
I wonder what the heat coming off of it is like after a few hours
Is it sad that this tiny thing is bigger than my tower desktop? I really need to replace my 9 year old computer... and this certainly would be a great step in the right direction!
This is a cool little device, so small and discrete, would be great for a stealth home entertaiment system
This would be sweet living room server. Lots of possiblites, in a pretty box. Daddy wants...
I would love one what a great little box of tricks :)
If that's not cool, I don't know what is. Sweet.
I'd set it up as a system for my daughters to use (6 and 8) they're constantly getting into it with their oldest sister for computer time. o.@;;
this looks very sweet.!
i heed a new computer soo bad, im still using a pentium 4. either way, GOOD LUCK EVRYONE!

Here's what I would have...everything is very bright and vivid. It all seems a bit fancy, but is really fairly simple.
Beet & tarragon bisque. Prettily pink, and nice and sweet and earthy, like things growing in spring.
Asparagus and spinach quiche. vividly green, delicious, special but ready in an hour.
(I'd probably have a salad and some roast potatoes with it, but since you're sticking to three, I will too!)
For dessert I'd have ice cream with cookies with cadbury eggs in them. Ice cream because it's irresistible this time of year, and cadbury egg cookies because they're bright and colorful and delicious!!
Claire: I want to come eat at your house!
Charlotte - Okay! Come on by!
Unfortunately, the pea soup is not a vegetarian dish...

The ultimate collection of funny articles and viral videos.
About Maxim's Funny Section
You need one word to describe Maxim? Easy: sexy. Wait – damn, that wasn't the point here. Okay, two words to describe Maxim: sexy and funny. It's our mission in life to make you chuckle, giggle, titter, yuk, grin, crack up, guffaw, snicker and, yes, possibly even laugh. We want to make you forget all about the crap you went through today (literally, if you work in a sewer, in which case, you should really wash your hands before reading this on a shared computer) by bringing you the funniest jokes, the silliest videos, the most hilariously-written articles and stories and the sort of nonsense that you can't help but find amusing.
We'll be updating the site every day with our funny take on the day's news: It doesn't matter if we're covering sports or politics, cars or food, celebrity sex tapes or scientific breakthroughs, you can trust us to always be total wise asses about it. Because who the hell wants to take everything seriously all the time? Besides, y'know, all those other so-called men's mags that want to sell you man-bags and $400 pairs of socks. We'll also be giving you regular funny list features to help pass your afternoon with a belly laugh or two. There's pretty much no topic we can't reduce to a handy list full of dick jokes, so be prepared to grin while wondering, somewhere at the back of your head, what the hell is wrong with these guys and why are they so obsessed with dick jokes?
Talking of jokes, we have a whole section devoted entirely to sharing the best, worst and best-worst jokes, gags and one-liners sent in by our readers, so if you need a new zinger, check here first. And if you're feeling particularly funny yourself, why not try your hand at our infamous Beat This Caption contest? Not only can you let everyone know you're way funnier than us, you can even win awesome prizes. Not bad for just being a smart ass.
Want to see how the pros do it? We've got interviews with more big comedians than you could shake a mic stand at, from Louis CK to Bill Burr, and there are more being posted all the time.
Wait – we haven't mentioned dick jokes for two whole paragraphs. Better take a look at our legendary Found Porn archive – every accidentally rude photo we've ever run, literally hundreds of them! That should get you back up to speed.

I am really happy with it apart from a small misslead detail the seller omitted to mention. Draw length is perfect at 26'' on the M2 cam. However, questions were asked about the draw weight. Seller told me it was set to 45pounds. Humm, have the bow infront of me & the information plate is stating 55-70 pounds. When i draw the bow it feels definitly like 55 pounds.
Am I correct in assuming that this bow is only adjustable between 55-70 or can it be lowered below the 55 pound threshold? If it cannot no problem I will just have to muscle up a little.
There is already a 5mm gap between the riser & the limbs which is telling me that it may well be already set to its minimum. What is the max length that this gap can be set to before I run out of bolt thread??
All advise welcomed

Looking for iPods?Start shopping
Get Better Sound From Your iPod®
Use lower compression for higher audio quality
An iPod® or iPhone® makes a great music player. The convenience is undeniable, but unless you've made a little tweak to your iTunes®, you might not be getting the best sound out of your player.
Here's the problem: most of the music imported into iTunes is compressed down from its original file size, a process that strips out the full depth and detail of the original track. Might not seem like a big deal. But anyone who's ever experienced the impact of a movie's soundtrack in the theater, and then felt less than impressed hearing it through TV speakers, understands the difference good sound can make. That same concept applies to music: just like with a movie's soundtrack, more detailed and dynamic sound means a more engaging, fulfilling listening experience.
So who cares about compression?
When an audio file is compressed, various bits of sonic information are discarded. The current default sampling bitrate of 128 kilobytes per second (kbps) that most music programs (including iTunes) use represents something of a compromise. It keeps file sizes small, so you can store a lot of songs on your player, but it gives up quite a bit of audio quality.
An uncompressed track ripped from CD is about ten times the size of its 128 kbps counterpart. So how much sonic information is discarded in the process? Well, imagine the difference between the appearance of a high-definition image on a flat-panel TV and another displayed on the same screen at 1/10 the resolution. The basic image may be there, but the missing detail makes it less enjoyable to view (or in some cases hard to make out).
Fortunately, iTunes makes the compression issue a simple problem to solve.
Changing the iTunes defaults for better sound quality
iTunes has a default import setting of 128 kbps. This setting affects tracks ripped from CDs, as well as sound files imported from other sources, such as audio editing programs. It does not affect music purchased from the iTunes store. Downloaded iTunes tracks come in at the resolution they're sold at (currently either 128 kbps, or higher-quality 256 kbps files).
Even if you get most of your music through iTunes store purchases, changing the default import setting for music from other sources is still a good idea. And it's easy to do.
Just go to the "Preferences" menu (depending on which version of iTunes you're running, it could either be under "Edit" or "File"). Then go to the "General" setting. You'll see a button labeled "Import Settings." In older programs you might have to go the "Advanced" tab, and then chose "Importing."
Either way, you'll soon see a choice of file formats. Some of the formats give you a choice of resolution. Don't worry about remembering numbers — Apple's helpfully labeled the choices with phrases like "Good Quality" and "High Quality." Below, you'll see the format choices you'll be offered, in descending order of sound quality. If you're not sure which format will give you the highest sound quality you can hear, try a simple test. Import the same track with two different settings — listening to them side-by-side can be the best way to determine which format works best for you.
WAV files are the largest in size, because your CD tracks are ripped with no compression. While this is good from a sound quality standpoint, there is a disadvantage — you won't be able to attach album art to these files.
AIFF files are Apple's version of a WAV file, but they allow a little bit of room in the file for metadata. This means you can attach album art to an AIFF file.
Apple Lossless files store data more efficiently than either WAV or AIFF, and have virtually the same sound quality while taking up about half the memory.
AAC is Apple's proprietary file format for audio. Songs purchased from iTunes are AAC files.
MP3 files are similar to AAC, and both compress music about the same amount, while using slightly different algorithms to do so.
Whether to use AAC or MP3 is a personal choice. Some people hear a difference between the two, and both have their supporters. One advantage to the latter format is that you can transfer MP3 files to non-Apple digital music players.
The MP3 and AAC settings also let you select compression rate, conveniently labeled "Good Quality," "High Quality" and "Higher Quality". Or you can use the custom setting to enter in a different sampling rate, including ones that are either higher or lower than the offered settings. Remember that not everyone notices higher sound quality with a larger size file. If you don't hear a difference between a 192kbps (higher quality) and 160kbps (high quality) MP3 file, then by all means go for the lower file size.
Upgrading older files
Changing the default settings takes care of any tracks you import going forward, but what about all those songs already in your library saved at 128 kbps? It isn't possible to "upscale" older iTunes files. If you want higher bitrate versions of those older songs, you need to import them again.
iTunes recognizes when an imported track is the same as one already in your library. It will give you a prompt, offering you the choice of either loading the new version and keeping the old, or replacing the stored file with the newer one. And when iTunes does replace a track, it transfers any metadata attached to the older file (year of release, beats per minute, play count, and so on). This means you don't have to re-enter all that data, and the play count doesn't reset to zero.
A word of caution — iTunes gets its album information from the Gracenote.com database. Users from all over the world continually upload track information to Gracenote, and sometimes a CD's information gets revised. If the track information has changed, when iTunes autofills the tracks it won't always recognize the song you're bringing in as the same as the one you want to replace. iTunes only offers the overwrite option if there's an exact match.
Getting rid of the duplicates isn't much of a problem, though. Make sure you have your main music library selected. Then under either the "File" or "View" menu (depending on the iTunes version you have), select "Show Duplicates." iTunes looks for matches in song titles and lines up the tracks very nicely one under the other. Simply chose the version you want to keep, and delete the other (of course, you'll have to re-enter all the metadata again for the new addition).
Moving your library to a larger hard drive
Less compression equals higher sound quality. But it also equals larger files. Even if you keep your music files relatively small, it's pretty easy to clog up a computer's hard drive with music. The easiest solution is to transfer your library to an external hard drive. And because the cost of these devices continue to fall, you don't need a fortune to get an external drive large enough to comfortably house tens of thousands of high-resolution audio files.
Relocating your iTunes library to an external drive is fairly straightforward. Start by connecting your new drive to your PC through your computer's USB port. In the iTunes "Preferences" folder, select the Advanced Settings. Under the "Advanced" tab (sometimes "General" tab in earlier versions of iTunes), there's a place to change the iTunes Music folder location (make sure both "Keep iTunes Music folder organized" and "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" are checked).
Using the "Browse" function, select the new drive and hit "OK." This changes the default location of the iTunes music library, so that everything you add to iTunes from that point forward will go straight to the new drive.
The final step was to go to the iTunes "Edit" menu, and select "Library." From that drop-down menu, choose "Consolidate Library" (older versions have this under the "Advanced" menu). This starts iTunes copying its library to the new drive. The nice thing about this process is that all of your music's metadata is preserved: play count, album art, year of release and so on.
Since this creates a copy of your library, you can check to make sure the transfer worked before deleting the library off your computer's drive. When you're ready to clear the iTunes library off your PC, be careful to delete the music the right way. You should only delete the actual music files inside the iTunes folder (it's the one marked "iTunes music" and has the artist folders in it). In order for iTunes to function, the other folders need to remain untouched.
When you're finished, you'll have room to grow your iTunes library without stinting on sound quality, and your computer will probably run a little better as well.
Moving your library off a laptop
While the process for moving your iTunes library is the same for both a laptop and desktop computer, there are a few additional things to consider with a portable PC. Chances are you'll be plugging in and unplugging the external drive as you move from location to location.
If you leave iTunes open and disconnect the external drive, iTunes will reset itself to make the laptop's C drive the default library location. Although all the songs remained listed in iTunes, if you click on any, an exclamation mark will appear in front of them to denote an unknown address. Any songs you import while the external drive is disconnected will be stored in the laptop's memory.
When you reconnect the hard drive, you'll have to go into the iTunes "Preferences" menu and then to the "Advanced" tab to change the address of the library back to the folder on the external drive (you can find this under the "Advanced" menu in older versions). Select "update" and wait a minute or so while iTunes reestablishes all the connections between its listings and the music files on the external drive. Any new music you imported remains stored on the laptop.
iTunes will also reset its library location to the C drive if you open the program before connecting the external drive to the laptop.
Fortunately, there's a simple work-around that avoids all that: just remember to close iTunes before disconnecting the external drive and open it only after reconnecting the drive. As far as iTunes knows, the connection between it and the external drive was never broken. You won't have to re-establish file links and any new additions will automatically go to the external drive, where they belong.

Cadel Evans returns to racing this weekend for the BMC Racing Team for the first time since breaking his left elbow at the Tour de France. The world road champion will compete in a pair of one-day races, Paris-Bruxelles and GP de Fourmies.
Totally Healthy
BMC Racing Team Directeur Sportif John Lelangue said Evans will be seeking race conditioning now that his elbow is fully healed. "The good thing is that he can extend his elbow completely with no pain," Lelangue said. "He will be racing to help the team and regain the conditioning that he is missing." Missing out on the two ProTour races in Canada was a disappointment, Lelangue said. "Cadel was unable to come to Canada because it was necessary to totally stop training after the Tour and do physical therapy," Lelangue said. "Since then, he's done some good altitude training."
Tougher Finish
A course change at Saturday's Paris-Bruxelles – which adds some climbing near the finish – should make it more selective in the final 30 kilometers, Lelangue said. "We will have a a look at in reconnaissance," he said. "If there is a group going away at that point that is important, we'll make sure we have someone in it. Otherwise, we'll prepare the sprint for Alexander Kristoff."
