Sniper ships in a large box which has all the features and specifications listed on it.  Other than that, the box is quite flashy and well designed and should appeal to shoppers.  The box design is important especially if the case is selling in  retail locations such as BestBuy, Fry’s, or Microcenter, as a good design plus all the listed features will make heads turn.  The “Sniper” on the Box is most certainly a good design choice.

Foam on Top

Foam at Bottom

On opening the box we get a first glimpse of the Sniper.  Two thick foam pieces protect the box at the top and the bottom. T he foam keeps the Sniper snugged-in tightly so that it doesn’t move around in the box and damage itself during shipping.  This kind of protection is especially important because online retailers like Newegg, ZipZoomFly, and Amazon ship the case in this box.  And you wouldn’t want to receive damaged goods after spending your hard earned money, would you?

The case is covered in plastic to prevent it from getting scratched, although it doesn’t look like that could happen as the foam keeps the case away from the sides of the box.

Once the foam is removed, we see a manual on top of the case.  It’s a good idea from a beginner’s perspective.  Anybody building a PC for the first time would appreciate that the manual is the first thing that they will lay their hands on.

Accessories

Included accessories are  four rubber feet, two water cooling grommets, a bag of screws and some 5.25 inch to 3.5 inch converter drive bay rails.

We will include this image to show the dimensions and the weight of the box.  If you are selling your Storm (although you shouldn’t have to) you can use this shot to determine the shipping cost.
