Packaging and Accessories

The Syber IEM system comes in a pretty large box, as you would expect from a full gaming PC. The box is durable, and comes packaged with a few warnings on the box, should any courier care to actually read them of course. Inside the box, you’ll find the system is inside the chassis box, but comes with protective foam around the two to ensure it survives most knocks and bumps in transit.

The system is inside the Syber M chassis box, which is also a very sturdy looking box with its own foam padding on the interior.

Also in the outer box, two smaller boxes containing all the extra hardware, cables, connectors, documentation, driver discs, etc. Everything you need is here, but since this system is already setup, you simply need to plug it in and boot it up to enjoy it.

The system comes with protective film on the window to prevent scratches, simply peel it off both sides of the panel and you’re good to go.

Before your first boot, remember to open the side panel and remove all the protective air pockets on the interior. They’re packed in pretty tight, and that should prevent the GPU and any other hardware from sagging in transit. In fact, it has prevented this, as the system got to us in perfect condition.
