Packaging and Specifications
The packaging gives a pretty basic idea of the case. The illustrations are done nicely. The specifications are on the sides of the boxes however the warranty period isn’t mentioned on the box, unlike how its mentioned in their product’s tech specs. The case comes with 2 years warranty.
2 Styrofoam pieces and a sheet of plastic bag: something that has been going for a while.

Corsair bundles the usual screws and the quick start guide with few needed extras. They also provided a USB 3.0-to-USB 2.0 headers. Very nice add-on.
