That should not be a concern for the PSU maker. If HDD cables were hard to route, then it is the fault of CASE maker.
Why should someone NOT knock a product based on pics? Are you telling me you own and use every item you have an opinion on?
YES... I dont go putting down products that I never used because... well.. generally I like to know what I'm talking about.
All I was doing was specualting on the info provided by the review. What other reason is there to have reviews?
Fair enough. Pics were presented by Silvestone showing the PSU fits just fine. By the way, this might just be my opinion, but why on earth would you keep the bottom case fan if the PSU comes with a fan? With the sealed bottom chamber, air has to come from the front, thus cooling the hard drives and PSU only.
The unit may be a great performer, I'm just saying based on those pics it looks like a lower end build, or at least not like a $199 unit.
Lets not judge a book by its cover. On reliability it has 2 things going for it: 1) 3 year warranty (no, not as good as Corsair but not bad at all) 2) At 700W, you'll be hard pressed to max it out, even with spikes, and so if you dont use a product to 100% of its capability, longevity is improved.
PS - I dont really mean to flame here and I'm sorry if I came on too strong with my reply.
