Pretty typical stuff here for a mid-tower chassis, although one thing stands out and that is the liquid cooling readiness which we’ll go over later in the review. Color choices are silver or black; the one I will be reviewing today is silver.
PRODUCT COMPOSITION
Protecting the case during shipping are a pair of Styrofoam blocks and another piece covering the front panel. Inside the case is an accessory box with hard drive mounting rails, motherboard standoffs and screws, wire clamps, dust cloth, instruction manual, and what the parts list in the manual calls a ‘magnetic ring’. I questioned the use of this ring in the last Gigabyte case I reviewed, and still have no clue what purpose it’s supposed to serve. If anyone has an idea, please let me know!
