A Closer Look – Exterior
The exterior design is a little bit industrial with very little detail around the sides, but there does appear to be a lot of ventilation, which is certainly no bad thing.
Same down the other side, another blank panel. This could be beneficial to modders who like to paint up their own designs as there’s nothing to remove beforehand.
Around the back, a nice bank of modular connectors, as well as the hard-wired cables for the motherboard 24-pin.
The fan ventilation is huge and features a rather hypnotic symmetrical inlet design that I really like, should look quite cool in chassis builds with an angular design.
On the bottom, you’ll find the specification sticker showing you the various loads each rail can handle.
Finally, you’ll find a huge amount of ventilation around the back, as well as a master power switch.
Cabling
All of the modular cables are a flat design with black connectors and cables. The only exception being the CPU 8-pin cables which come with yellow headers.
Of course, the 24-pin is hard wired and it’s a little garish, to say the least. I think they really dropped the ball here making all the other cables black and leaving this with the cheap rainbow-puke design on show.
