Corsair's Gaming Series GS800 power supply is well finished, with the logo cleanly presented along the sides of the chassis. The paintwork is resistant against minor scratches and fingerprints.
The images above highlight the blue strip running across the top of the chassis and onto the side panels. This can be detached from the chassis and replaced with another colour, available from Corsair, at extra cost.
This Colour Ring accessory pack is an interesting idea, but we don't expect an enthusiast user to spend more money matching this strip with other lighting in a system build. That said, we could be completely wrong.
All of the cables are hardwired and emerge from the rear of the chassis. Not ideal for a media system build, but the non modular design helps to keep down the costs a little.
A large 140mm fan takes centerstage at the top of the chassis. The Corsair logo is proudly presented in the middle as part of the chassis, above the fan.
The other side of the GS800 is vented with the name of the product visible. There is a power connector and switch, alongside the lighting on/off switch.

I like the appearance, its something different. wish other companies would come up with other features.
id like a coffee maker in mine. – slide the case door off. coffee while gaming!
I have been waiting on their new high end units. I built a new system, or am building it, and the PSU is the last thing im going to order. i almost went for the bequiet 850W platinum, but want to see what other options are happening soon.
Any ideas Zardon if they are releasing a platinum unit soon?
