The AeroCool Strike-X 800W is a bright, eye catching red and black design with the ‘X' logo crafted in aluminum on the top.
The fan is hidden behind the grill and ‘X' logo, with another smaller ‘X' badge in the center.
One side of the AeroCool Strike-X 800W is honeycomb vented to help improve airflow. The power button and socket is set to the side.
Most of the AeroCool Strike-X 800W power supply is finished in a bright red paint which attracts the light very nicely. It would look great with some red case LED's close by.
The hardwired cables are protected into the chassis as we can see above, with a rubber grommet protecting against the metal chassis.
To check the surface of the power supplies we test, we often gently run a screwdriver across the paintwork, to see if they can withstand careless handling without damage. Sadly the AeroCool Strike-X paintwork is very thin and marks easily. You really do need to handle this unit with care.
That said, I do like the finish, it is a very attractive colour of paint.
The modular connectors are on the other side of the AeroCool Strike-X, they are colour coordinated and labelled for ease of install. It is a shame they didn't opt for a pure modular design as they could have removed the hard wired cables and used the space for more modular ports.
