Aspire X-QPack Case

Packaging And Contents

The X-QPack is protected during shipment by a plastic bag, styrofoam “book-ends”, and a sturdy cardboard box with a carrying handle. Once out of the box you’ll find that the exterior of the case windows are further protected by plastic sheeting. Included with the case is a package of hardware, a power cord, and one rear panel I/O plate.

Contents (power cord not shown)


The case does not come with any documentation at all. There is a decent installation guide located at Aspire’s website, HERE. Step 19 of the guide reads: "19. Screw it up." I’ll let you decide if those are good instructions or not!

The X-QPack


I originally didn't ding Aspire for failing to include even the most basic of instructions. During the editing process though, one of the BE crew said the following:
IMO having to download a guide is a "con". I would be frustrated as hell if I were building my first system and had no easy way to get on the net. Would be better if there were at least some general instructions provided with the case.
I think that's a valid point.
