The Toughpower 1500W supply is nicely finished with a silver sticker on either side, featuring the name and power output. This is a very large power supply, measuring 220 mm x 150 mm x 86 mm (LxWxH), so make sure your case can accommodate it.

The front of the PSU is fully vented to help with airflow. There is no power button on this unit, which is surprising and rather disappointing for such a flagship product. Thermaltake are using a C20 power which accepts the heavy duty C19 plug.

The top of the power supply has a large 135mm fan centered with the ‘Tt' logo proudly showcased in the middle of the metal grill. If you look at the image above however, you can see that the fan sticker (below) can be seen from an angle. It would have looked better if this was removed, for a plain black finish.

The other side of the power supply contains the colour coded modular ports. These are all labeled to aid with the installation phase. The hardwired cables are left naked near the entrance to the chassis, which is slightly disappointing to see. There are so many cables entering this hole that the side panel is slightly ‘bulged' to accommodate them. They really should have made this hole a little larger as I would have some minor concerns long term about cable fraying.
