Packaging
The SilverStone FARA 512Z ships in a brown cardboard box with an image of the chassis on both the larger parts. On one of the smaller panels, there is a compact list of features and specifications, while the other covers that same feature list in ten different languages.
SilverStone uses fairly compact Styrofoam spacers to hold the case in place during shipping and protect it from potential damage. A plastic bag has been placed over the chassis for an added layer to keep fingerprints and scratches away.
