At the rear of the power supply is the on/off switch, power connector, and a red power LED. As there is no fan at this end of the PSU, the end is sheltered by a great deal of holes to permit the warm air to escape. Through these holes, the innards of the beast can be seen. Inside are rather large aluminum heatsinks to assist in the heat dissipation. There is no intake fan on the bottom, or any other items on the alternate sides

The ST75ZF offers a 24/20-pin motherboard, 8-pin ATX12V, 6-pin AUX, two 6-pin PCI-E, seven 4-pin molex, four Serial ATA, and two 4-pin PDD connectors.

Some sleeved .. and some not, weird. All cables are sufficient in length to reach the various components, it should be no issue at all. The power cables that were sleeved were the PCI Express, motherboard, and auxiliary cables.

Everything is perfectly labeled and cable orientations are clearly defined. Included cables can be used for:

24pin motherboard connector
8-pin ATX12V connector
8pin to 4pin ATX12V adapter connector
6-pin AUX connector
Dual 6-pin PCI-E
4x SATA power connector
4-pin IDE power connector
4-pin floppy power connector

Yeah for real .. the trenches of the guru lab. This is seriously how we are preparing the stress test. Real world massive usage. don't try this at home kids ;)

The Grandia GD07, an updated version which offers everything you ever wanted in for a HTPC, it's so spacious that you could even use it as a very cool desktop PC.

SilverStone 750 Watt ATX Power Supply
Today we will have a look at the Zeus 750 Watt continuous power supply from Silverstone. A really awe-inspiring power supply with four (yes four) +12 Volts rails and which is also an SLI ready power supply. We'll put it to the test buy using our quad SLI setup. The new Zeus is cool, literally, as up to 750W it'll maintain a temperature of 50°C. You get 60 AMPs combined (over 700W) for these four +12V rails alone, making the ST75ZF capable of powering any top of the line system available today and the near future.
