Packaging and included accessories

The HTPC 8000 arrived on my doorstep in a plain cardboard enclosure that had the case’s model number and features in plain Arial text on the box’s front panel. The cardboard is pretty sturdy though and I didn’t see any dents or gouges in it to indicate the case was damaged during shipping.

The HTPC 8000 arrived encased between two heavy-duty pieces of foam and was wrapped in a clear plastic bag to protect the exterior finish from any dust or particles during shipping.

Here’s a quick shot of everything out of the box to see how the case was secured before it was shipped to us. 

The only included accessories that were shipped with the HTPC 8000 was a quick installation guide and a small bag of screws, grommets, and cable management zip ties.
