Antec Neopower 650W Blue Power Supply Review
by SKYMTL     |     October 19, 2007

Exterior Impressions


The first thing that I really like about the Neopower Blue 650W is its compact size even though it is a modular power supply. In the past we have seen a number of manufacturers add length to the housing in order to make space for the modular interface but Antec has not done this here. The entire power supply (other than the black fan grille) is coated in a dark grey finish which is extremely close to a regular dull grey but has a bit of black pigment mixed in to give it a bit of extra punch.

The entire top portion (or bottom if you swing that way) is dominated by the single 120mm clear intake fan and its accompanying black grille. One end of the Neopower 650W holds the modular interface while the other end holds a perforated metal panel used to exhaust warm air from the interior. Let’s take a closer look at that modular interface…


The modular interface is extremely basic and the connectors can be used wherever you want. In other words, you can plug the modular PCI-E cable into any of these terminals as well as any of the Molex or SATA cables. This simplifies things a lot when you are groping around the inside of a dark case while trying to plug in an extra cable.

All of the connectors use a very simple push and lock mechanism for secure installation on the modular interface. To remove them all you have to do is depress the small tab on the connector and it will slide free without any hassle. This system is very effective for anyone who changes out these cables on a regular basis.
