" ... With just those 2 cables plugged in, those cables almost filled my ITX mini case. ... The new cables took up much more space in my case then the original PSU did. ... "
" ... The color of the case throughout all of the cables is white and very clean! ... I added cable extensions for good looks where visible and no problems there with fitting snug yet somehow easier to disconnect from the motherboard inputs over their other PSUs. ... "

" ... The package it came in felt very special with the psu coming in a cloth drawstring bag and the cable sets having their own little storage case. ... "
