The Fractal Design NEWTON R3 1000W power supply is nicely finished on the outside with the company ‘flake' logo embossed into the chassis.
A large white fan takes centerstage at the top of the chassis.
One side of the chassis is vented to ensure good airflow under load. There is a power connector and switch close by.
The other side of the power supply is home to the modular connectors, which are labelled and colour coded. The PCI-E and ATX12V connectors are white. Peripheral device connectors are black. This is not a pure modular design so a handful of hardwired cables emerge from the chassis on one side.

The single +12V rail can deliver 80A which is 960W of the total output. Both +3.3V and +5V rails can deliver 20A each. By comparison the Seasonic Platinum 1000W power supply which we reviewed in May last year can deliver 83A (996W) via the +12V rail.
