Not all of the cables are modular. The main ATX cable is hardwired into the chassis, along with a 4+4 pin EPS/ATX12V cable. The main ATX cable is the only cable which is sleeved, not flat. All of the cables are high quality.

The diagram shows the breakdown of cabling with the unit. The CS850M supports two high end graphics cards if you want to run in Crossfire or SLI. It is good to see a reasonably long 650mm 4+4EPS/ATX12V cable supplied. A total of 8 SATA connectors are available, across two cables.

Games Emulation

KitGuru Games: The Best Console is the One in Your Pocket

Emulation is the saving grace of the video games industry. Despite its controversial nature, the technology will be the only way in which all games are preserved for the future – free from licensing agreements and other such nonsense. Better still is the fact that in a majority of cases, emulation allows for a more accurate recreation of the game’s original experience than official offerings, due to countless complex shaders, filters and tweakable settings. And the best part? Thanks to the progression of technology, your humble smartphone is able to do all this and more – giving you the power of 10,000 games in the palm of your hand.
