Oh...oh my. That is HIDEOUSLY ugly.
I get what they were going for with the box, but man that is just tacky looking especially if they are trying to "one-up" AMDs threadripper boxing (which was beautifully done).
Just...No no no.

I think my stomach just turned a little. It looks so cheap, nasty and too pompous for what it is. I know ThreadRipper's packaging is a bit extravagant but this is just over the top.
That price had me howling though, waaaay too low

I could understand if it was a 9 sided polygon but it's not.. so it's just stupid. What were they thinking?
You could have made it the normal box that it's always been with an RGB strip in it for show and it would have been better than this

Buy it, throw away the packaging, stop complaining
Agree, don’t get why people are moaning about the packaging? It’s the content inside that is the important stuff. It’s not a shroud for like a car, it’s just a box that holds a CPU.
I bet that most people in here put their CPU retail box in the box where all your other PC hardware is, no?...

For that price they can keep it, Switching back over to AMD next year for the 3000 series anyway.

What's your current CPU if one might ask? I decided to stick with my i7 7700K. For a PC that's only really being used for gaming, upgrading this is just plain silly. This CPU can lasts for years with the 1440p resolution I'm gaming in.

8700K @ 5GHz, Great chip but I'll want to play around with AMD's new stuff when they release their 3700X or whatever they call it

It could end up being twice the price here in the UK if those US prices are accurate. They might not be as Mark already said, but if they are the 9900K could be £600-620.
