MSI ships the Z87I Gaming AC in packaging which is typical for the company's Gaming Series products. A red and black box features the symbolic dragon logo and plenty of information regarding the motherboard.
The typical manuals, drivers disc, and case badge form the supplied literature. MSI also includes a comedic door hanger which warns people against disturbing you when gaming is taking place.
The Z87I Gaming AC's slim accessory bundle consists of two SATA cables, a pair of WiFi antennae, and the rear IO shield.
A notable omission is MSI's ultra-convenient M-connector; the basic block would have made connecting cables in a cramped, mITX environment a much easier task.
