Our box came a little dinged up from the trip, but no damage to the unit was sustained. The package also has a list of features/specifications and also a gold sticker advertising the lifetime warranty this unit comes with, which is a great feature that Ultra offers with most of their products.
The Ultra Power Partner is not a standalone power supply, but rather an additional/secondary supply that provides up to 325W of additional power to your computer. This is great for those situations where you have a decent power supply but just need some additional juice, for example, to power an additional graphics card or more hard drives. By choosing this product, you can avoid having to incur the greater cost of buying a whole new supply.

Opening up the package, the PSU can be found secured at both sides by foam inserts with the cables to one side of the package. Along with the power supply, the package contained four screws, a power cable, and a PCI outlet bracket.
