I was quite impressed with the copious quantity of cables and connectors. Seasonic has decided to curiously
twist all of their Molex lines. Personally I don't like my lines all twisted up as it makes them more difficult
to hide, but with a power supply this squarely aimed at powerful computers, aesthetics take a back seat to
functionality. Remember, we're a modding website! Buy up a few feet of quality sleeving, and you'll be
laughing all the way to the bank. There's a lot to sleeve, but look on the bright side, by the time you
finish you'll be a pro!

Functionality in mind, each of the regular Molex connector lines is of the quick-disconnect variety and extremely long.
The main power connections are also all present including a 20-pin with a removable 4-pin section for 20 or 24 pin boards,
a P4 AUX connector, twin PCI-Express video card connectors and even a dual processor 8-pin power jack. That's right, you
can use this power supply to run your twin processor server and still have enough connectors to make the recently photographed
giant squid envious. Continuing in the quantity vein there are four more SATA plugs are present with two on their own line.

Moving back to the power supply itself, the main body has a matte black painted exterior with a clearly printed and detailed
label on the side. The grill is a honeycomb which Seasonic claims is the most efficient shape for cooling. A single 120mm fan
is present on the underside (when installed, just above the CPU cooler) and draws air up from the CPU and forces it out the
rear of the case.
