The Gigabyte F2A85XN-WIFI is supplied in a compact motherboard-style box which reflects the small dimensions of the unit within. It is decorated in a powerful white-on-black livery which looks suitably premium.

We find a fairly comprehensive list of features and specifications on the back of the box alongside some badges which illustrate various features of the motherboard. The box feels fairly robust and should do a decent job of protecting the motherboard in transit.

Inside the box there is a limited selection of accessories included.  All we find is a couple of SATA-600 cables, a Wi-Fi antenna and an I/O plate.  We also find a user guide and software CD, but these are usually given.
