I had to beg the UPS man to call me so I could meet him on delivery day. This is the behemoth package that lay in waiting for me: So what's inside box? mmmm Peanuts: So what lies under them there nuts? Now to remove the VERY CAREFULLY packaged boxes: Inside the Motherboard box were all my extra cables and wires (in anti-static bag), my recovery disc, my XP Pro disc, all the manuals, and a nice binder which included the discs for my EVGA video card and IP35 Pro MOBO. The manual also contains a nice note from AVA and the QC testing and Mark06 scores. Very nice and neat to pack all this in MOBO box. Okay lets get that badboy outta the other box: The only casualty during the shipping process was one of the rubber pads from the bottom right side of the case stuck to the styrofoam. But all I had to do was clean off the styrofoam and it attached firmly to its original home once again. No problem at all. There was a tiny bit of stryofoam stuck in the bottom of the case from the shipping process but this purely cosmetic. The styrofoam was cleaned off with no problem. Drumroll please........Isn't she gorgeous: Now open up and say ahhhh: Now from the side: I will update my review and add more pics as soon as I can.
