Packaging

The small packaging features a nice design with a large centaur figure on the front ready to shoot an arrow at the competitors. Below the centaur we find a series of badges along with the 80 Plus Bronze certification. Also a sticker, containing the model number and its capacity, is used to distinguish the boxes of the Centaur PSUs since the packaging is the same for all of them.


This side clearly shows that the 1000W Centaur unit is hiding in this box.


On the rear side of the box we meet a brief features description along with the power specifications table of all Centaur units.


There is a connectors description on this side of the box. Unfortunately there is no word on cable length.

The unit is further protected inside the packaging by a nylon bag. Also Xigmatek was kind enough to provide a nice storing bag for the modular cables. The rest of the bundle includes some zip ties, a set of fixing bolts, two leaflets and of course the modular cables.

Exterior

A nice decal is installed on the side of the PSU with the Centaur logo, while on the other side the power specifications label resides. On the front we meet the classic honeycomb exhaust grill and the AC receptacle along with an On/Off switch.
The rear side houses the few modular connectors and the fully sleeved native wires, which could be less. Xigmatek chose to make both EPS cables/connectors fixed something not practical since most users will utilize only one of them. Thankfully the lot of native wires protects a grommet. Finally a word about the unit's finish. The surface is close to glossy and the coating is of good quality overall.
