Packaging and Contents

The Front of the ECS Z370-Lightsaber's box is a weathered gold with a black "Leet" logo prominently in the middle, along with an ECS logo in the top-left corner. I like the simplicity; however, I find it odd to have such a shiny box for a matte black board. The back of the box is well organized, featuring an image of the board as well as a diagram of the rear I/O. I like this layout with some basic information along the left side of the box and a more thorough list of features along the right.


Opening the box reveals the board in its anti-static bag with all the accessories right underneath. This packaging layout is simple and efficient.


There are only a few included accessories; I think two SATA cables may not be enough for many people. However, with M.2 drives quickly becoming mainstream and affordable, I can understand the reasoning behind it. I do like that the I/O shield is black, matching the board. Small touches can make a big difference in terms of finished looks.
