A Closer Look:
Now, let's get a size measurement: 15.8cm(L) x 15cm(W) x 8.6cm(H), so it's standard PS2 Form Factor. Please note that power supplies have to meet the ATX standard. This means that the height is usually the same, although the length and width can vary. This PSU is really compact, so it's perfect for a HTPC (Home Theatre PC) or Small Form Factor (SFF) builds. It has a black paint finish and comes with one 140mm fan. The overall look is very plain, considering some PSUs are modular, have windows and LED fans.
The large 140mm fan is really quiet and it’s recessed so it will fit in any ATX case. This fan and the many ventilation holes insure that the PSU remains cool in any environment. More and more PSU manufacturers are using 140mm fans, which is great to see. The larger the fan the more air it can move at a lower speed so noise is reduced. I remember when power supplies used 80mm and 90mm fans and in some cases they were extremely loud. And there’s nothing worse than a loud power supply.
 
 
This product is auto switching (full range), so there no need to manually switch between 115V/230V before installation. Also, note the power cable connection, and the power switch.
Many of today's power supplies are modular, but this one isn't. Modular sleeved leads are sometimes preferred because it really helps reduce the cable mess and increase air flow inside the case. Thankfully, all the leads are sleeved though and this does assist air flow inside the case. There's also a plastic grommet on the power supply to protect the leads from being cut.
