General
Now let’s take a look at the package and its contents.
Package and its contents
The Meshroom-S chassis arrived in a retail package which is a large box. The package is typical for PC cases and is made of brownish cardboard. On the sides are general specifications, so about everything we need to know.
The package itself wasn’t additionally protected, so we are glad it arrived safely and undamaged.
The chassis itself is protected by styrofoam. The exterior of the package has some signs of pressure or maybe even hits, while the product inside is in perfect condition.
The package contents include everything required for a basic installation of every motherboard included on the compatibility list. There is a set of screws, a user’s guide, additional stand-offs, a 90° HDMI cable, and some zip ties. Everything else is already in its place in the case.
Additionally, we receive a kit with additional legs that is handy if we decide to use a very long graphics card. I feel it could be designed better, but I don’t think that many users will need it, so it’s an easy way to keep the case in a small size.
The only thing we have to pick during purchase is a PCIe riser. We asked for an ATX one, so 270mm long. The plans have slightly changed, and instead of an ATX motherboard, we decided on a micro ATX for our test PC. The riser is installed in a similar way, so it’s not a problem.
Next, I will describe what I find the most important. I will skip the obvious things that are clear looking at the product and would be boring.
