The PSU itself is a good looking hammered black flake like finish with a hexagon shaped fan grill with a white 135mm fan typically used on the largest ATX PSU’s to silently push enough air thru the whole unit. Overall the unit depth measures 6 1/2″ .
The cables are modular except the 24pin Motherboard, 8pin CPU and one 2 x 6+2 PCI-E cables attached to the unit. 6 modular cables with the shortest PSU to 1st connector being 19″ which is plenty length for most large ATX case reaches. Each connector is black and labeled according to device. Sleeves could be more dense as the wires do show through and are about 1 inch short of connectors with heat shrink imprinted with temperature and voltage ratings.
