Packaging

The packaging is really small, since the unit's dimensions are restricted. On the face of the box we find a close angled photo of the PSU and several icons inform us about the most crucial features. In the yellow strip, on a small grey background, a line of text states that the unit was designed by Antec's California department. This sound a little weird: a U.S. branch with 115VAC power grid designed a unit that uses 230VAC exclusively for the EU market? Finally in this case on the rear of the box you will not find any noteworthy information. On the contrary on the remaining sides there is enough info about the unit.

The unit is protected by carton packaging, an eco-friendly touch by Antec which avoids the excess use of plastic/foam in their packages. However the PSU is wrapped in a plastic bag to prevent accidental scratches during packaging and transportation. The low price of the unit didn't allow for a rich bundle so along with the PSU you will get two re-usable cable ties, a set of fixing bolts, an AC power cord and a folded in quarters piece of paper which merely refers to the main features of the PSU.

Exterior

The finish is black semi matte and in order to further decrease cost, Antec decided to provide sleeving only to the 24 pin ATX cable. Unfortunately nowadays the unsleeved cables look very weird even in low priced units like this. To make things even worse there is no grommet in the cable exit hole, although its cost is almost negligible. Fortunately on the front of the unit we find an On/Off switch, an essential feature in our opinion. Finally the unit's dimensions are very small, something expected since its capacity is relatively small.
