Introduction

Known for their innovation, Thermaltake has always been a company that tries to move away from the traditional. Time and time again they have come up with products that are not only high performing but unique and eye catching at the same time. More importantly, Thermaltake has always sticked to their winning formula and that is selling innovative products that are affordable yet still very high in quality.

 

Almost all hardware nowadays is made with looks as a major ingredient in the designing process. There isn't much in the PC that hasn't undergone a major change to accommodate the whims of the case modder and enthusiast. One of those components that have remained almost the same since the PC started was the Power Supply Unit. There have been a few changes but not really major ones. Today, we will see how Thermaltake's new design changed the prehistoric look of the modern PSU. Introducing, Thermaltake's Silent PurePower 480W Butterfly Series.

 

 

 

The Silent PurePower 480W Butterfly

Just when you thought that the PSU would remain the way it looks until a new form of power source is invented, comes Thermaltake giving the PSU a much needed facelift. They have combined performance, technology and looks all at the same time with this unit. The Butterfly PSU boasts side windows, side panels, LED's, intelligent and colorful cable management system, X-blower exhaust system, dual SATA power connectors, dual fans and low acoustic to name a few. Features that one wouldn't normally find in most PSUs at the moment.
