Antec NeoHE Modular 550w PSU
Appearance

In theme with all other Antec products, the Neo HE has simplistic, no bling styling. The unit appears to be sprayed in a slightly metalic grey paint, and has a elegant Antec logo stamped into the PSU casing.
Something you don't see much in the most modern incarnations of power supplies is the use of an 80mm fan. Most units nowdays opt for 120mm fans to reduce the noise levels and increase cooling power. If i remember rightly, even the Neo HE's predacessor (the Neopower) was fitted with a 120mm fan.
At this point i find it strange that a power supply labeled 'High Efficiency' would use an 80mm fan, unless of course, the unit is so efficient, it doesnt require much cooling?

Looking around the back of the unit, we can see the meshing that allows for the unit to breathe, along with the modular PSU plugs, of which, at first glance appear to be slighty sparse in comparison with other modular power supplies.
Antec have opted not to make the ATX and P4-12v connectors modular which in my opinion is a good idea. I've found that modular ATX connectors make it harder to route the ATX cables around the back of the motherboard as the cables are spread out rather than being in a big bunch.
