A Closer Look:::...

The ST46 offers ample cable and connectors for most serious users. There are four SATA power connectors for feeding the latest hard drives though any PCI-Express options are absent.

Cable Aperture

In total there are eight 4-pin Molex connectors, two floppy connectors, a 24-pin ATX power connector, a 4-pin auxiliary power connector and an RPM monitor wire and header for the integral 120mm fan.

You need to use the usual, rather bulky 24-pin to 20-pin adapter lead for use on most non-server motherboards. This is supplied in the box.

Internal Features:::...

Unless there's a capacitor tucked away somewhere I couldn't see it, the single, large 270uF capacitor seems to suggest a single cycle design. I'm no electronics whizz and am happy to be corrected, but it looks that way to me.

If heat sink theory is anything to go by, the ST46's sinks are nicely proportioned and the plate-like design should be more efficient than solid lumps of aluminium.

The internal wiring was extremely nicely done with a distinct absence of the usual adhesive trails everywhere. The layout is extremely neatly done and well planned out. In fact the whole interior reminds me of an FSP power supply I looked at recently, but I couldn't see their name on the PCB anywhere.
