Why have Enermax gone all JPS (John Player Special) all of a sudden? Perhaps they're planning to package them in Christmas crackers. The gold fan devalues them by at least £30 IMO.
The gold fan does indeed look rather crap.
Still, cant fault Enermax PSUs in my experience.
Tacky, real tacky
It's a prototype. Why do you care what colour the fan is?

though if it ever broke you could put the fan on a chain and sell it as bling on ebay...
Now if you had one of those rather old acrylic cases floating from the ceiling on display in some new age office, then fair enough, it might be something to consider in the grand scheme of things.
Even if you've got a window, you can't even see the PSU through most of them.
I'm just aghast. So if the PSU was average yet looked funky, people would consider it over something better that looks like this? In such a PSU (which will be excellent if the preceding model is anything to go by) not buying it because "err, fan is fugly" is just... well, at least the institutes will make a nice profit.
Looks are everything when you don't know what's good and what's not. I'd agree that this looks tacky rather than stylish, but I'd take an expensive-looking PSU over a bland one any day of the week if I had to choose without knowing anything about them.
92% seems a bit of a stretch when you can see modular fixings. I am not in a position to say for certain, but I would have thought an extra stage to get the power from the PSU to the components would reduce efficiency.
At least, I know that's true with audio wire. (Going from RCA to 3.5 can be horrid!)
signal quality != efficiency
Adding another set of connectors isn't going to effect the way that the transformers inside the PSU convert 240V AC to 5-12v DC, it might add a little bit of signal noise, but that is all.
Adding another connector can add resistance and so have a minor effect on voltage and efficiency because of the heat lost at the junction but it's negligible, sample variance would likely make more of a difference than this contrary to what some non-modular-only MFRs would have you believe. Loose connectors can be a problem though, adding more resistance so noticeably dropping voltage and wasting power but that shouldn't be much of a problem if MFRs do proper QC.
what kind of price is this thing coming in at
