Cooler Master Nepton 280L Review

Up Close:  Packaging and contents

Brand image is important and those of you who have played any of the various “name the brand” browser games will know just how set into our psyche’s logos and even colours can be.  With this in mind, we’re willing to bet that even with the graphics and logos removed most PC enthusiasts would have no trouble identifying this as a Cooler Master product.  Branding image aside, the box is still informative with images and details of specification and key features.
