The power supply is finished in a very attractive black paint. It does attract fingerprints fairly easily however as it isn't a dull matt finish. The large 120mm fan takes centerstage at the top of the chassis, and strangely enough our review sample didn't have Cooler Master branding on it.

The rear of the PSU is fully vented to help with airflow. To the right is a power connector and a switch for easy access.

The same graffiti style box artwork features on the side of the chassis – this is a sticker, not painted onto the chassis itself.

The GX650 isn't a modular design so the cables all emerge from the front of the unit and are shipped with a thin cable tie around them.

Cable	Amount
MB 20+4 pin	x1 (500mm)
CPU 4+4 pin	x1 (600mm)
PCI E 8 pin (6 pin +2)	x2 (500mm each)
Sata power connectors	x6 (2 cables) (500mm + 100mm each)
Peripheral 4 pin (molex)	x6 (2 cables) (500mm + 100mm each)
Floppy connector	x1

The GX650 has two PCI E 6 pin + 2 connectors, so if your system build needs more (SLI or Crossfire) then you will need to move to the higher end model, the GX750, which is supplied with 4 of these cables.
