We have seen dramatic improvements in both the
design and features of the Power Supply over the past year. While some
manufacturers are conforming to the growing trend of larger, quieter fans,
others are listening to what the most demanding power users and case modders
really want. One company, Ultra Products, has listened well and has introduced
a feature-rich product that will appeal to a variety of PC users. The new
Ultra X-Connect 500W PSU is truly one for the hardcore enthusiast, sporting
modular cable connections, a sexy high gloss finish and the energy needed for
the most power-hungry systems. Let's take a closer look...

The Ultra X-Connect Power Supply comes in a
rather large box, and with good reason! Included, is a separate box with
a bunch of high quality x-connect cables, power cable, installation screws and
a short manual.

The glossy finish on this PSU is very similar to
that of the QTechnology Papst Series PSU we looked at a while back. Best
way I like to describe it, is "Black Ice" after one of Zippo's most popular lighters.
