Sapphire's Atomic HD 3870 comes packed in a neat looking, easily transportable, aluminum briefcase which is full of pleasant surprises. We got it all nicely packed in a cardboard box.

You have to keep an eye out for the front side that has a logo on it, since it is very sensitive to touch and can easily be scratched. The logo and the branding are written on some kind of cardboard, which is easily damaged. We would like to see it engraved in the aluminum, but this looks good, also.

The briefcase is certainly good looking, but the inside contents are even better.

The card is nicely protected from all sides, and all you need to know about the card is written on the cardboard which is the first thing, besides the card, that you will see when you open the briefcase.

The briefcase contents also include a three meter long HDMI cable in addition to the DVI-HDMI adapter. The HDMI cable is a nice touch, and as far as we know Sapphire is the only partner that includes it with the graphics card.

An interesting addition is the LED lamp. You get a neat little switch for the neon light lamp, and a lots of software. The full version of 3DMark06, CyberLink PowerDVD 7 and DVD Suite, CD with drivers, and last but not least, the Black Box voucher hidden in the manual.

Two LED neon lights are easily connected and can be placed anywhere inside the case since they come with adhesive straps.
