The Athena Power 350W FlexATX is supplied in a plain, small white box with blue accenting. There are brief specifications listed on the front and a sticker top left which highlights the power output.
There is no bundle, just a power cable and the supply itself.
The unit is built to the demands of this specific audience. Basically as bare bones in appearance as you will get. There is a small 40mm fan on the rear, next to the power connector.

The combined power of the 3.3V+5V output is 120Watt, and the +12V1 and 12V2 output can handle 11A each.
The Active PFC internal design is clean with high grade 105c rated components used in the design. There are several heatsinks in key positions, and these have sensors attached to help ensure the 40mm fan delivers enough air flow.
I was wondering if you could upgrade power supplies in cases like the thermaltake small form factor designs. they are only 200-240W units. I guess the extra 100watts+ would help.
not very exciting product to look at. Wonder why the high end companies dont come up with something cool for this audience. custom paintwork jobs etc.
Seems ideal for a small server. they are quite expensive really when you look at it. thats the biggest downer for me.
Maybe im behind the times here, but that seems way overpriced for what you get.
After reading this article I went on newegg to check out more on this power supply and it was priced at 70 dollars US. It seems the PSU went on sale and did at the right time.
