A Detailed Look
The enclosure features a nice black matte finish and measures 125mm W, 63.5mm H, and 100mm D. The rear panel features a standard AC power cord receptacle and main power On-Off switch.
The SilverStone ST45SF PSU uses a single 80mm Protechnic Electric fan (MGA8012ZR-015), which blows air into the PSU for cooling and is rated for 0.33A at 12V.
The ST45SF PSU comes with a basic set of hardwired cables, which are sleeved up to the first connector. Note: the cables are intentionally short to help reduce clutter in a SFF enclosure but this could be a problem if you elect to use this PSU in a larger ATX case.

Here are a few pictures showing the layout and components inside the SilverStone ST45SF PSU. The overall layout, build quality and component selection appears to be very good.
Very good review. There seem
Very good review. There seem to be a few power supplies out now in this form factor that are competing with this unit. After reading this review, I think I would only buy a power supply that was 80 plus certified. It gives me a warm feeling that somebody other than the manufacturer looked at the product and certified that it works the way it’s suppose to.
