Packaging, Bundle & Cables

HCP-1000 arrives in an attractive box. Antec have done a great job on the graphics and design with the packaging. The front identifies the total wattage and significant features such as modular, continuous power, 94% efficiency (platinum) and 25% energy savings. The front also alludes to the impressive 7 years warranty that this unit is backed by.

Inside, there is more than adequate foam padding for the PSU and other items.

Included modular cables


All cables have been given Nylon sleeving which is semi-transparent.

Overall quality of this sleeving and the connectors is very good though.
