This came very well packaged inside a standard box, but boxed inside in a sturdy box. Since I'm using it to work from home and have to be hardwired, I didn't need the Wi-Fi adapter, so I can't speak on its performance there. I was able to easily connect my dual monitors with a VGA and USB to HDMI connector. So far, a month in, and it's performing as needed. Sometimes it lags a little when logging into my work desktop, but it's a beast and sucks a lot of memory for the process...this is to be expected, and co-workers using new machines are having the same problem. I also love the footprint of this tower. It's smaller than the old monster I had sitting on my desk, and since it can sit upright or be laid on its side, I've got it currently acting as a stand for my second monitor until I cave and get an actual dual monitor stand.All in all, for a budget option, I would buy this tower again.
