Ever since my last system only came with the mobo box when I had expected more, I began making sure every hardware I buy came retail (and of course brand new) unless otherwise chosen not to have it retail.
Something about having that box art with ya that rocks.
Especially if I had the IceQ II X850XT PE. Damn would I be putting that box up on my wall!
The Gigabyte box is huge because of the features it has. Read up on the K8NXP-9's feature set, you might be surprised and also not surprised why it is big. No vibrator, but I own one already if you want some action.
And yeah, if you see some of the boxes out there, like the MSI or the Asus new ones IIRC, they're HUGE. Card barely takes 10% of that space! Must explain why Asus price gouges their video cards though. 😱
