Bundle and presentation
It's all about presentation these days. It helps to sell the product.
The box is actually only a little bigger than the picture above. If you remember that the Mini-ITX mainboard only measures 17cm x 17cm, you'll understand just how small the package is.
The back of the box spells out exactly what we're dealing with. Impressive integration in such a small package.
The bundle doesn't really need to be all that large. We have the majority of required features integrated on to the EPIA-M. A reasonable manual helps you understand the EPIA concept. The driver CD contains the 4.43 4-in-1s, all the necessary drivers, and VIA's FliteDeck information tool. It contains a number of handy utilities that provide you with the system's vital statistics.
The extra bracket is excellent. It kills two birds with one stone. A single bracket carries 2 USB 2.0 and 2 6-pin FireWire ports. The benefit is the loss of only one PCI slot. We wish other motherboard manufacturers would follow VIA's lead.
