Packaging:

The Zalman ZM460B-APS Power supply comes in blue appealing cardboard box, with a picture of the product on it.

Here you can see the features printed on the box.

And the specifications of the unit.

When we opened the box I was very disappointed by the lack of protective material, there was just bubblewrap protecting the unit.

The bundle:

You get a little bit more with the Zalman 460W then you usually do when purchasing a power supply unit, since this isn’t a modular PSU Zalman has been kind enough to supply some Velcro strips to tie the cables together. As well as the usual power cord and manual they also include a multi connector supporting two fans in 12 volt and two in 5 volts.
