Now let us open the box and see what awaits us!

 


 

Packaging

Like most cases if you want great construction expect great weight. The chassis is protected by a plastic sleeve and securely fit into Styrofoam. What nice is the Styrofoam is housed in cardboard, so it slides out of the main box easily. I’m sure with the weight of the package the shipping guys weren’t gentle. With that being said the MX430 AIR RGB was completely unharmed in the shipping process.
