Photos Part One: Packaging and Accessories
We’ll start with the box (big surprise there). It’s a brown cardboard affair, nice and simple.
Not much to the box really. The little spec box lists weights totally different than the product page.
Inside the box we find the case, it’s quite well packed.
Wrapped around the case is the VESA mount:
There’s another box inside the box too, it has the model name on it:
Pretty cramped in there.
There’s an interesting collection of stuff. The black plastic doodad is a stand so you can sit the case vertically on your desk if you want to. There’s a selection of screws, the power brick, and also a very complicated looking connector arrangement. It has two SATA plugs, a 4p CPU power plug, a 20+4P motherboard power plug and one Molex plug.
The power brick puts out 19.4v and 4.74a, equaling the 90w specified. This actually concerns me, as there has to be something inside the case to drop the voltages to 12v, 5v and 3.3v. Unless that bit is 100% efficient (it isn’t) we don’t actually get 90w internally. Antec’s marketing department is getting a bit creative here.
Let’s move on to the case itself!
