Packaging
The packaging for the Node 304 is a rather simplistic and unexciting cardboard box. That being said, the important information that one would need to know about the chassis is clearly labeled and present. Almost every square-inch of the real estate is covered with diagrams, specifications, large pictures, exploded schematics, and other pertinent information related to the chassis. On the front side of the package we can clearly see that Fractal Design wants to promote this Mini-ITX chassis to the HTPC, gaming, and fileserver crowd.
The right side of the package has a nice image of the interior of the chassis as well as a marker for the particular part number inside, which in this case is the white version.
The back side of the package details several of the key features that the Node 304 has to offer and corresponds to the exploded diagram view of the chassis. Plenty of information is available to aid the consumer in deciding if this chassis is a fit for their needs.
The left side of the package lists several specifications of the chassis as well as the type of cooling that is included.
Contents
The protection inside of the package for the Node 304 consists of the obligatory but reliable styrofoam base and topper. A plastic cover is also used to protect the chassis from scratching during shipping and handling.
The packaging also contains a user manual and various installation accessories such as motherboard stand-offs, zip ties for cable management, and various screws for your storage drives.
Now that we have examined the packaging and contents, let us take a closer look at the chassis exterior!
