Packaging:

The Tagan ITZ 1300W power supply is packed in a retail oriented box. Each of the sides of the box provides a look at the power supply, as well as all the common technical information. The back of the box lists the various features several languages.


The outside of the box is really a slip cover which conceals a heavy duty cardboard box. Inside, the power supply is wrapped in a plastic bubble bag with the cables holding the power supply steady so it does not move during shipment.


The Basics:

The housing of the power supply is covered in a blue mirror finish. The top and bottom of the unit have no extra features or stickers, and the unblemished mirror finish can provide a sharp look to the inside of a case. The picture on the right shows the quality of the mirror finish; no flaws or discolorations.


Each of the sides has a metallic label affixed to it. One of the labels includes the common information found on most power supplies, including specifications, regulatory certifications, and various warnings. The opposite side has a very simple label providing the manufacturer, model, power rating, and the ABS Gaming Lab certification icon. When the power supply is mounted in a standard ATX case, this is the label which will be visible to the user.
