The packaging that the mainboard arrived
in was extremely good and mainboard was
very well protected by sturdy packaging.
This will give
confidence to the buyer looking at the
board for purchase. However like all
events of this nature we are at the
hands of the courier, but hopefully this
well thought out packaging should help.
Overall its a very neat package and
Intel have come out fighting with this
bundle and excellent mainboard to claw
back old customers and new. A lot of
thought has gone into this and it may
just see many coming back. |
