So I see the Aquaero and temp sensor and what not but what is that watercooled PCB above the front rad??

I thought it was an SSD at first but now I'm guessing an old Aquaero accessory of some sort?
It's an alphacool heatmaster 2, controlling the 2 pumps (which are only 3 pin) and also using it to power the 2 led strips.

Just to touch back onto the packaging subject for a minute: generally packaging isn't insanely inefficient because it costs more money to ship, store and indirectly shelf larger products. Space is finite in logistics. Though I like AMD playing on the emotions of enthusiasts by not just giving a cardboard box with a 500-2000$ CPU in a plastic clamshell, but give it its own experience.

This is a friend of mine that lives in the UK. Corsair 900D with i7-860 and an old 1156 motherboard and an Asus Strix 980 Ti. Of course a computer with a massive power draw like this one needs a Corsair Ax1200i PSU.

I just laugh every time he gives me a hard time for my tiny cases.
