Packaging
The Sentry LX comes packaged in a cardboard box which includes product images and specifications on the top and bottom. The sides and ends are simply black with NZXT and the product name as shown below.
Within the box we find the Sentry LX and its included accessories protected in Styrofoam packaging. A heavy plastic bag contains the Sentry LX as well as its additional accessories. In addition to the fan controller itself we find the User’s manual and a smaller plastic bag.
Opening the smaller bag we find the lithium backup battery, a replacement temperature probe, mounting screws and tape to fasten the temperature probes in place.
