The box artwork for the PG-1000G is certainly eye catching – bright pinks and purples and a row of icons along the bottom highlighting features. I am happy to see Cybenetics certifications on these units as well.

I know I am not reviewing the box, but full marks for the efforts on this one. Full gloss finish and an array of details on various features, including focus on the cabling and component selection.

Inside the box, the power supply is sandwiched between two thick slabs of foam. The cabling and accessories sit alongside the main PSU in a separate compartment.

ASRock bundle a bag of cables, some plastic and felt cable ties, cable combs, PSU test adapter, a regional specific power cable and some literature on the product. It is a pretty comprehensive bundle.

The cable quality is excellent, each cable is individually braided and none of them have in cable capacitors. The cables range from 16 AWG to 22 AWG throughout.
