InWin Commander 750w
The Commander itself is quite an odd looking thing. The main shell of the unit is tinged slightly green, to go with the military theme I assume. It’s completely matt, but unfortunately it shares the characteristic of the glossy units by showing up fingerprints like nothing else.
On the underside of Commander you have the large 12cm, matt black fan. The grill covering it is also matt black; no shiny chrome on this PSU; it’s stealthy.
Up close it’s apparent that the fan blade is textured, which probably means over time they’ll be some dust build up. Keep an eye on this if you own or plan to buy one of these units.
Flipping the PSU over, there’s a specification sticker that covers the its credentials in terms of certification and voltage/ampage ratings.
On the side panel is the 750w and Commander logo again in bright, stenciled yellow. There’s also a list of the different connectors and features the unit has.
On the alternate side there’s a small vent that allows airflow over some internal copper coils.
At the front you have the ports for all the cables; save the 20+4pin motherboard one. Each connector point has a plastic cap covering it to protect the internal metal so that the connection will always be high quality. The PCI-e power 6pin and 8pin connectors are on the left in the picture below, with the CPU and "peripheral power" connectors on the right. These are clearly labeled and colour coded to make things nice and easy to follow.
PCI-e are colour coded red for convenience.
The cables themselves are covered in a black braid that not only improves their look, but makes cable management easier by reducing the chance of snagging.
Also, the PCI-e cables have red tipped connectors, though only on the end that attaches to the PSU. At their alternate end, they’re made up of 6+2pin connectors to allow for 8pin required graphics cards.
