The Aerocool Strike-X 800W power supply arrives in a very bland looking box with an image of the unit on the front.

Inside, the unit is protected between two rubber foam pads. The accessories and cables are in a separate box at the side.

We were surprised to find that the company don't seem to include a user manual, unless our sample was opened previously and this was removed. Inside is a thin cardboard box with the modular cables, installation screws and a regional specific power cable.

The AeroCool Strike-X isn't a pure modular design, some of the main cables are hardwired, as seen above left. The cables are all sleeved and decent quality.

Cable	Connectors
MB 20+4 pin	x1 (720mm)
CPU 4+4 pin	x1 (720mm)
CPU 8 pin	x1 (720mm)
PCI E 8 pin (6 pin +2)	x4 (650mm)
SATA	x8 (600mm)
MOLEX	x5 (600mm)

A decent array of cables, although it is worth pointing out that the Corsair AX860 which we reviewed earlier this week ships with six x 6+2 pin PCI-E cables. Those two extra connectors may be useful to a small portion of the prospective audience.
