so today on my video blog we're going to be featuring not one but two products
first of all the video is going to be about the antec earthw 650 wat power
supply but I'm also testing out a new camera so we're testing out the m1093 is
Kodak camera it's got a high quality 720p video mode so uh you can see we
actually started unboxing this before but my assistant today at home had
noticed that you could see her pajamas
in the reflection off the packaging so we had to restart so first of all let's
get that shiny packaging off there so first thing we notice about the Earth
wats is they're saying it is green it is Earth it is all about the efficiency so
you got your 80 plus certification and the earthw series is actually one of the
least expensive or most affordable I should say um 80 plus sort of certified
power suppli so here we go uh here's all of your standard specifications so we
got 3 12vt rails you've got active P
power factor correction so that means it accepts any volage input it's an ATX
power supply and it's for quiet Computing so that means ante is
advertising this as a quiet power supply
so let's get the Box open here let's show you how it's packaged in here so
along with their Green Earth theme you can see that they're not using a foam
package they're actually using like a brown recycled paper sort of package and
H here we go let's get this out so first of all accessories you have got got a
power cable so this is your standard computer power cable it's got the three
prongs it's got the other three prongs there you go there's nothing really
interesting about that you got your do not eat package please do not eat this
next we have a piece of brown paper which we will take off so that's that's
holding together the two sides of the
paper clam shell that's holding in the power supply and then we have these two
paper pieces here I better be able to put this back together cuz quite frankly
I do not remember how that went so then we undo the plastic around the power
supply itself and if I was able to do
that I would definitely do it there we go and now we can finally extract the
antech earthw 650 watt okay so the first thing you're
going to notice about it is it has a nice big 120 mm fan it's a little bit
smaller than the 140 mm fans that we're seeing on some other power supplies but
you are going to get adequate ventilation from that for sure especially for an efficient unit like
this so here you can see you got your normal honeycomb mesh on the back onof
switch there's no 120 to 240 volt switch
that is uh evidence of the active power
factor correction of this power supply on the side you're going to see the
basic specs here so you've got three 12vt rails rated at a maximum of 22 22
and 25 amps that's going to be your most important spec you're going to find on
the side and then on the other side we have an antech logo next thing I want to
show you here is actually the connectors that are included with this power supply
so first of all I'm going to need to get off this zip tie thing it's one of those
reusable zip ties so if you wanted to use it as part of your cable management
scheme you could actually do that which is kind of neat so first of all we've
got how many what are what are these okay we have a 6 plus2 pin PCI Express
connector so you can use that either for six pin PCI Express or 8 Pin then we
have another six pin PCI Express
connector and then so that's one eight pin and 16 pin and then we have a four
pin ATX connector and an 8 Pin EPS
connector so you're only going to use one of these two for your uh for your
motherboard there that provides power to the CPU so now I'm going to take off
this other connector here and I really wish that it was a little bit faster at
taking these off cuz man is it ever taking me a long time there we go let's
get the rest of our connectors going here so there is your Standard 24 pin
ATX connector it's a it's not too long
but it's not too short you're going to be able to use that in almost any bottom
mounted power supply case which it makes sense because antec was one of the first
to make that popular with the p180 and then for the rest of our cables here
let's see what we got so we have two sets of sort of more Molex oriented
cables so here you're going to find one two six Molex cable connectors and one
floppy connector and then for the other two cables here we've got two more that
each have three SATA connectors so four of them are right angle which looks like
this and the other two are just straight connectors like that so thank you for
checking out my video blog on the antech earthw 650 Watt
