ABS / Tagan BZ900 900W Power Supply Review

Packaging and Accessories


The BZ900 comes in an imposing black box which is topped off by a carrying handle for when you cart your prize out of the store. This one of the first packages we have seen to use a purely square shape and make no mistake about it; this box is large enough to fit every bit of information you could want on its vast black expanses. Since there is no “front” per se, each one of the four sides carries different information about the BZ900’s features, specifications and accessories.


One side of the box is completely dominated by a very convenient cable chart which shows all of the cables which are included with this power supply. There is even information regarding the cable lengths.


Once the box is opened you are greeted with a top-down view of the ABS-certified logo which is printed on a carrying case for the modular cables. Once this carrying case is removed we are able to see the power supply itself which is safely nestled within the protective embrace of some foam padding.


The power supply is additionally protected by a padded nylon “bag” as well as bubble-wrap for yet more protection against the bumps and whatnot that happen during shipping. Without a doubt, the ABS / Tagan BZ900 is one of the best-protected power supplies we have seen.


The accessory package that comes with this power supply is more than complete and what you see in the above picture is just scratching the surface of what’s included. Upon first glance it looks like all you get is a vinyl-wrapped manual, a $10 rebate to the ABS Store and a nylon carrying case. However, there is much more than what meets the eye here…


Once the modular cable carrying case is opened, you are greeted with a virtual cornucopia of extras. Other than the nifty case for the modular cables you get the usual mounting screws and power cord along with some undersized zip-ties and an ABS case sticker. However, the rest of the items included here are a drastic change from what we usually see; ABS has also included some gloves for handling the power supply, a supremely uncomfortable screwdriver, an ABS case badge and a rubber vibration dampener.
