The product:
Please click on thumbnails to get bigger pictures
The motherboard came packed in a nice box that has a plastic handle so you can easily carry it. The first thing that struck me was the weight of the box, either it has loads of accessories or heavy heatsinks. The first thing I found inside was a couple of manuals, for the raid and the motherboard and also a cd with drivers and software for the Asus boards.
