All the power cords look snazzy with carbon fibre type sleeving inside a clear plastic sleeve and
translucent blue ends. The power supply body itself is no slouch either, with a black chrome design and
a matching fan grill.

As you can see, the grey-black chrome is really extremely reflective, and the sleeving is very professional.
The fan grill on the power supply is also black and there's a fairly subtle OCZ sticker on the hub. I
really like the appearance of this unit and it should look fantastic in a system with one or two UV
cathodes.

I should take a moment to mention the whole premise behind the OCZ ModStream power supply design which
is the inclusion of modular cables. The cables are all terminated inside the power supply and left mounted with basic male
plugs. It is up to the end user to pick and choose the Molex lines they want to plug in. The ModStream
comes with a healthy selection of modular and UV sleeved cables. You get a dual SATA, a
PCI-e video card connector, two dual Molex connectors, one single Molex and one floppy drive connector.
If, like me, you have two regular hard drives, two optical drives and one AGP card, all you really need
to plug in is 3 of these connectors, making a tidy case mod all that much easier. The length of the
connectors might be an issue if you have a full tower case and have a hard drive located in the bottom
slot of your drive cage. The length of the cables are fairly generous at about a foot and half. The
main ATX connector is both 20 and 24 pin motherboard capable with a nifty little sliding piece that
attaches to the main plug. A P4 AUX connector is also included as part of the default configuration.
