Packaging and Accessories:

The Cooler Master Stacker 830 comes in a huge box, inside the case is well padded to prevent damage during transport. The back of the box shows various features and options available with the CM 830.

The manual may look a little intimidating being so thick, but that is because there are instructions printed in 8 different languages. The case is really easy to work with, and the instruction manual provides clear pictures and illustrated diagrams. As mentioned before, this case can be converted to a BTX design, and is extremely easy to do so using just a screwdriver. The SRM (Support and Retention Module) and air duct are both included for proper BTX installations. Extra drive brackets, screws,  and the cross-flow fan bracket are also included in the package. A special front plate and brackets are included for mounting a floppy drive and having it match up with the other mesh plates.
