Antec TruePower Classic Series 750 W Review

A Look Inside & Component Analysis »

Packaging


The box the TP-750C comes in is small and has a photo of the unit's front at its face. Near the top-right corner are the badges for its five year warranty and Gold-certified efficiency. Antec also highlights the PSU's most notable features at the bottom of the front.


This side lists the unit's specifications in four languages we don't speak.


A table including the power specifications and a description of all included connectors can be found here. Antec should have also included cable lengths here.


Antec says the most crucial features of this unit to be its high efficiency and its compliance with the latest ATX v.2.4 spec, and its five year warranty.


The back of the box is covered in paragraphs that describe the unit's specifications in many different languages. Antec also placed a bunch of badges on top of the box. Among the latter is a ErP Lot 6 icon, which means that the TP-750C consumes less than 0.5 W in standby.

Contents


Antec used green materials to protect the unit inside the box. Not as effective as packing foam, the materials are environmentally friendly. That plastic bag the PSU is stored in for some additional protection can't be characterized as green, though.


The bundle Antec includes is lackluster. It only includes the essentials: a set of fixing bolts, the AC power cord, and the user's manual.

Exterior


The finish is semi-glossy and fingerprint resistant enough. It didn't give us a hard time while we were taking photos. The unit's small on/off switch is at the front and right next to the AC socket, and the decals take up most of the real estate on both sides. There are no modular sockets at the rear since all cables are affixed, and the cable-exit hole doesn't feature a grommet, but its edges are rounded. The specifications label is on the bottom of the unit, while the fan grill on the opposite side features a nice badge with Antec's logo in the middle.


The unit is very compact, but the number of native cables looks intimidating. They will definitely give you a hard time while you install the unit and manage cables inside your case.


All cables are fully sleeved back into the housing and none of them are stealth.


Sleeving is of acceptable quality for the unit's category and price. It would have been much better if Antec had used flat, ribboned cables, but that would have increased the final price.
