Packaging and Contents

When I opened the shipping box this board came in, I had to take a moment and soak in what I was looking at. MSI, what happened? You're all sleek and dangerous. I really like the picture of the board in the middle of the back of the box, all attention-grabbing as it is. This is far more than I was expecting.


Flip the top, and you find the... board... ? I really like the quality of this anti-static bag, and how it feels compared to others, but it looks gross. A plastic lid on top of this board really would have sealed the deal for me here.


There are very few accessories included in the box. Here's what I found:

• Quick installation guide, manual, support DVD, and other papers
• 1x Rear I/O cover
• 2x SATA 6Gb/s cables
• 1x SLI HB bridge

A pretty short list, I must say.
