Packaging:
The XG Dragon came packed in a very heavy, huge black box with the red dragon on the side. This particular shipping carton looks like it's been through World War 2, but no significant damage was present. Packed inside with foam and more cardboard was the silver version of MGE's XG Dragon case. The Dragon also comes in red, black, blue and a special (limited) edition dark purple made exclusively for Newegg in America and Jet Computer in Europe.
