This box artwork hasn't changed since 2013. The ‘CS' series range is highlighted top right on the box, with an artistic image of the fan taking up most of the front panel.

The modular cables are stored in one side of the box, with the power supply itself protected between two thick pieces of foam. Cable ties, mounting screws and a user manual rest on top.

The user manual, cable ties, mounting screws and regional specific power connector.

Not all of the cables are modular. The main ATX cable is hardwired into the chassis, along with a 4+4 pin EPS/ATX12V cable. The main ATX cable is the only cable which is sleeved, not flat. All of the cables are high quality.

The diagram shows the breakdown of cabling with the unit. The CS850M supports two high end graphics cards if you want to run in Crossfire or SLI. It is good to see a reasonably long 650mm 4+4EPS/ATX12V cable supplied. A total of 8 SATA connectors are available, across two cables.
