Model:  ATX-AS500W

Manufacturer:  Turbo Case

Provider:  Xoxide

  One of the most important and highly overlooked component of your custom built system is your Power Supply.  The quality and stability is vital to your components and their overall performance.  Manufacturers have lately been introducing some highly attractive PSU's that would appeal to case modders.  One such Power Supply is the Turbo Case Aspire available from Xoxide.   This unique unit features a clear outer shell combined with an anodized aluminum housing that not only offers you the power and performance you'd expect, but adds a bit of style to go along with it.

Included in the box is a power cable and some thumbscrews for easy installation.  The clear housing itself is entirely protected in a clear plastic wrap that you simply peel off.

Who would have thought a Power Supply would be this beautiful?  They didn't put a window on it just for kicks.  It's there to show off the red PCB board and colorful array of capacitors, heatsinks, etc.   Very attractive indeed.

The bottom portion of the unit is made of a blue anodized aluminum and are available from Xoxide in a variety of colors.  There are two blue LED fans installed.  What's really nice is that there is a silver knob on the back of the unit that will allow you to adjust the fan speed.  Even the power connector and switch are made of UV reactive material.

The ATX cable has UV reactive sleeving, however, the rest of the cables are not sleeved.  What also makes it quite unique is that all the connectors are UV reactive.  There are a total of five 4-pin molex connectors and two floppy connectors.
