The be quiet! Pure Power 10 follows what we would consider a traditional be quiet! design ethic. High quality paint, thick metal bars to protect the fan mount and orange accents in various parts of the design. Very tasty indeed.
The unit measures 160 (L) x 150 (W) x 86 (H).
We love the vibrant orange circular surround behind the grill, in front of the fan. We noticed with their Straight Power 10 CM that be quiet! opted for no trim (HERE). Personal opinion, but I love the little touches and the orange trim is very appealing – it always reminds me of KTM motorbikes.
One side of the power supply is vented to help improve ambient airflow. Beside the large vent is a power button and connector.
The other side of the unit is home to the modular connector bay and the hardwired cables. The modular connectors are cleanly laid out vertically with the names above them in white – for high contrast clarity during the build phase. The PCI connectors are dual width so you won't accidentally plug them into the wrong connector.
One side of the chassis has the ‘be quiet!' company name embossed into the metal. A nice touch – although this image will also show how easy it is to get fingerprints on the chassis as I forgot to wipe it before taking the picture. This smooth surface is somewhat of a fingerprint magnet.

The be quiet! Pure Power 10 700W CM can deliver 56A across the two +12V rails which translates into 672w of the 700w available. The 12V1 rail handles the 24 pin, drives, and PCIe 1 and 2 connectors. The +12V2 rail handles the P4+4 and the PCI e 3+4 connectors.
Nice review Allan. One small criticism – I do think you’re being overly polite on this unit’s pricing and overall quality. Case in point, I’ve just picked up a Rosewill Capstone 650W gold PSU from amazon for £71 including free delivery. The Rosewill has mostly if not all Jap 105C caps with 5yr warranty to boot. Heck, even on overclockers, one can get superflower and evga gold units at a lower price than this be quiet. Who are they kidding?
