Some people requested to see this - it's just a 10 second clip.
I had problems viewing that via FireFox, but IE was fine
This small, edited, video shows me as I was unpacking my new PC.
You see that one side of the box had some plastic sheeting in it - like a couple of carrier bags worth and was buffered with a very small box.
In the footage you actually see me look at the box as I didn't know what it was - I initially thought it was a free gift - I realised it was the only defence for one side of the packaging when I opened it and realised it was an empty box and was purely there to protect my PC.
It was just a bit of plastic bag and that box that was protecting the whole of that side of the box.
The opposite side was not much better packed - it had a bigger box (the one the 8800 GTX would have come in) - the two other sides at least had chunks of foam stuff in there - certainly not a professional job for such a PC.
The other 3 sides had better protection, not enough to stop the internal box moving about, but not as dire as that top section.
You have to bare in mind this is a £1,400 PC system they have shipped to me.
