Here we have the four screws to secure the PSU to your case, some cable ties and nice Velcro ties for cable management are also included. We especially like to see the inclusion of Velcro ties as they have been enjoyable to use in the past. You also get a nice little case badge for you case if you like to show that your PC is powered by Seasonic. As you would expect in a PSU, a three pronged power cable is included, so you have a ground wire.
