Another internal feature of interest is the power supply.  What we have is a CFX format, Cooler Master branded unit with the specifications as shown in the below left image.  As you may be able to read, the ratings for each rail aren't particularly impressive, but it does have dual 12V rails and all of the necessary connections including (2) SATA, (4) 4-pin drive connections, (2) floppy connectors, 4-pin processor connection, and a 24-pin motherboard connection.  Nothing is provided for PCIe cards that need additional power, and upgrading this to something stronger could be quite difficult given the limited availability of SFX units.
 

The B260 includes a handful of accessories, hardware, and a manual in order to make installation as easy as possible.  Some of the accessories include the rubber feet I mentioned previously, a independently supported PC speaker, screws, wire management items, and a tab that lets you lock the case.

 

The key accessory is pictured below, a PCIe x16 riser card which allows you to use any PCIe graphics card with this system.

Well, just about any card, that is.  During installation I realized that neither of my cards worked particularly well due to issues with their sizes and not the riser card (to be covered later).
