Kudos to NZXT for creating proper artwork for these boxes and not using a universal box for both black and white versions. The front of the box lists some key selling points such as the ATX 3.1 compatibility, the 10 year warranty and the 80 Plus Gold badge. I was a little surprised not to see a Gold Cybenetics badge on the box as we know it was certified by them as well. Hopefully they add this later.

The rear of the box covers some topics we have already discussed such as the use of Japanese capacitors, Gold certification and modular design. There is mention of an FDB (Fluid Dynamic Bearing) fan and the fact it will stay disabled under 50% load. More on this shortly.

The box contains a cool looking purple bag of cables, alongside the power supply which is protected between slabs of foam. This is always good to see as some power supplies we have reviewed lately are just shipping inside the outer cardboard box without any kind of shipping protection.

Inside the purple bag the cables are wrapped up in plastic wrap, along with a power cable and some screws. The cable quality is pretty good and we are pleased to see NZXT didn't cheap out and supply black cables in the box!
