Enough is enough marketing departments! The Toughpower branding is recognizable but when it becomes an RGB to the DPS G-unit one starts to wonder if this a PSU or a new professional gaming team. Oh, lest we forget to mention it, the box proclaims this is indeed a VR Ready PSU; perhaps it provides 3D virtual electrons? Aparently the DPS G portion indicates it is compatible with your cellphone as the PSU provides both modular and mobile features. Lastly the RGB portion of the branding; if you guessed it has a fan capable of producing 256 different colours then you got it! It is even possible it creates airflow at the same time.
Does it actually work as a PSU? Does anyone even care when it has all of these wonderous features? Only [H]ard|OCP knows.
"Flashy lights are cool if you are into that kind of thing, but we want to know about the new Thermaltake power supply beyond the pretty hues of red, green, and blue. Toughpower units have weighed in well in the past, but how about in today's market as it is a lot more competitive now."
Here are some more Cases & Cooling reviews from around the web:

At least five, at least 2 of which can handle the 44 oz bladder buster Super Gulps.
Love Thermaltake’s cases,
Love Thermaltake’s cases, they are affordable and improve upon the designs they were inspired by. Power supplies are a different category though, I would read reviews thoroughly from technically proficient review sites before considering changing to a different brand. I’m happy with Silverstone for now.
