Before you check out the specifications of the mainboard, I would like to point out that all the features listed in the table below should not necessarily be implemented in the small form-factor barebone system we are looking at today. These are just the mainboard specifications.

When we open a bright-orange box, we find the following there:
- Barebone system we are reviewing today (Qbic EQ3901M), wrapped in plastic and secured with foam shock absorbers;
- Bright-orange box with all the small parts and cables that should be handy for further assembly;
- A multi-color paper envelope with 2 CD discs with the drivers and bundled software;
- A page with the company contact information and the mainboard warranty terms and conditions;
- Quick Installation Guide for the mainboard;
- Quick Installation Guide for the system;
- Full Installation Guide for the system assembly;
- Mainboard user’s manual;
- User’s manual for the software that comes on one of the bundled CDs.
Fresh from the box: package contents without the barebone system
