Antec TruePower Quattro 1000 Watt
The TruePower Quattro 1000W is similarly designed to the 850W model. This style looks very much like one from a racing car with its boy racer racing stripes. Any motor fans out there will surely love this theme.
Taking a closer look at the paint job on the power supply reveals the background to be a flat matt black whilst the stripes and ‘1000’ lettering to be very glossy – this contrasts very well indeed.
On the right side of the Antec is the power specifications sticker which is stuck centrally. This side of the PSU is what you’d see when mounted in your case; unless you obviously mount it upside down. As you can see, there’s no 120mm fan mounted atop the unit. I guess the reasoning for this is the racing stripes.
At the front of the power supply you’ll find an 80mm fan and the norm – power switch and ‘kettle type’ socket. Hopefully this 80mm fan goes against its common stereotype: noisy.
Moving to the rear of the TruePower 1000W you’ll find five cables and five modular sockets. The modular sockets are colour coded to the modular cables – red for PCI-E and black for SATA and Molex. On the underside of each modular socket is a label which also informs the user of the socket usage. Antec are obviously concerned about users sticking the wrong cables in the wrong sockets.
