At the rear we can find yet another 80mm fan, a power outlet, and a simple toggle switch that allows you to kill the power to the power supply. The lack of a voltage switch tells us that this model will automatically detect the voltage level and adjust accordingly, so you are set regardless if you are in a country using 120v power or 240v power.

When we have a look at cabling the first thing we see is that this PSU is not modular. A bit of a shame really as now you have a gazillion cabled inside your PSU of which half you will not be using. Then again .. a fact is, modular plugs limit power by adding to electrical resistance. Professional system builders specify uninterrupted wire.
 

The blue connectors .. now here's a real difference opposed to other PSU's. They are PCI-E connectors with the cables magnetic shielded. Pretty cool stuff, yet the connectors are big and in some cases could be an issue due to it's size. The one product that will have a problem with these connectors are the GeForce 8800 GTX cards as they have the connectors mounted on the top side of the card and thus will block your PC Chassis side panel.
