Opening The Package

Though the package was very well designed, I had some problem figuring out how to open it! I examined the entire package and there seemed to be no way to open it, short of cutting it with shears!

The plastic was tough so tearing it open was definitely out of the question. You may have thought of using a pair of scissors but the plastic is really quite thick. It would take some time and effort just to cut it open. I do not believe that Cooler Master would make it so hard to open. There had to be a trick to it!

Luckily, I stumbled onto the bottom part of the package which, by the way, is the last place I would look for access to a box! And what do I see? There's this tab holding four plastic flaps in place. See the picture below :-

So, the plastic box can be easily accessed without requiring "plastic surgery"! All I needed to do was unhook that plastic tab and the four flaps would fall out. I think CoolerMaster should put a notice somewhere about this. Perhaps something like "To open the box, please unhook tab at the bottom of the package"!
