The Antec EarthWatts 750W arrives in a traditionally styled Antec package.
The bundle is rather spartan with a manual and some screws supplied. The PSU is protected in a bag with a cardboard piece on each side. As you can probably tell from the picture, it isn't a modular design.
We like the design of the new power supply. The army style camouflage green looks very nice and is a vast improvement when compared to the older ‘plain grey' design.
The rear of the unit is vented to allow for maximum airflow, there is a power switch above the connector port.
The fan on this specific model gets an upgrade, to a new 135mm unit. It is plain black to maintain a simple two tone appearance.

I like the paintcolour, photos show it well.
I see no reason for them not to include a power cable, that is ridiculous. Its to save a dollar on shipping
Im afraid im aiming higher, to the 1200W range next time. but seems like a solid enough product, which you would expect from antec.
Good idea and good for Antec. I have an entire large bag of power cables, despite throwing out all but two spares just 5 years ago. Ditto every other kind of cable, to the point I have a small cupboard full of wires.
Cable recyling would be useful – VGA cables, Scart leads you name it, I have piles of them – they’re no use and there’s nowhere to dispose of them as charity shops don’t want them.
Initially I thought it was a pain, but I just realised ive 5 spare cables here myself. I would assume most people into comptuers or building are the same…… not really an issue.
Ive more of an issue with those cables. naked cables are terrible looking.
For the price this is excellent. good efficiency and stability. Shame about the cabling, I agree its pretty ugly. even a semi sleeved idea would work well.
Paint colour is a really different thing to try. i like it
Excellent, shame about the cabling though, thats pretty ugly for 2011.
good price for such a nice PSU, cabling is fine, I like the paint too
