BFG 800W Power Supply Review

Packaging and Accessories


The packaging used for this BFG power supply is very….green and keeps to the general theme of the BFG logo and corporate branding. There is definitely a lot of information on the front of the box; it ranges from the technical features of the power supply itself to some shameless marketing hype in the form of a “The Power User’s Power Supply” label. There is also a run-through of some of the connectors you will get with the BGF 800W unit.

The amount of protection inside the box is more than enough to ensure that your brand new BFG power supply won’t arrive at your doorstep in pieces. Not only do the cables provide a good buffer zone between the box and the power supply but the unit has also been encased in bubble-wrap as well.


BFG has gone out of their way to offer us a very complete accessory bundle with their power supply. You get the usual mounting screws and power cord but there are also some handy black zip-ties and five colored Velcro cables tie wraps as well. This might be nitpicking but I wish that BFG had decided on one color of tie wraps since the included rainbow of colors would look a bit odd if used together inside of a case.
