Packaging

The Spedo comes in the very colorful typical Thermaltake packaging. There is a picture of the Spedo on the front along with a picture of a car. On the back there is a list and diagrams of the many features of the case.

Opening up the box the case is nicely protected with Styrofoam. Also Thermaltake provides cloth covering for the case to protect it from scratches. This is great if you plan to use this case as a LAN gaming machine as the cloth will protect it when you go to different LAN events.
