     One of the biggest factors I think in purchasing a power supply would be "will it help my system's stability?" We'll get to that in a bit, but you can rest assured that after testing the Thermaltake I wasn't disappointed at all. Well worth mentioning, is that Thermaltake isn't just giving you a box to plug in and go, they throw in  a fan controller, some really cool multi-colored LED's, a cooling fan, sleeved cables, enough interface plugs to wires up a significant amount of drives and accessories, and last but not least, more than one SATA molex. Oh yeah, they didn't skimp on the overall length of these cables either. I had no problem wiring up the power supply on a Lian Li PC-75 which as far as I know is still the largest ATX case you can buy other then an all-out server case.

     The kit comes with everything you need to convert over to the Thermaltake Butterfly groove. Thermaltake even threw in some nuts 'n bolts, and an ATX power cable!

A good look at the length, type of interface plugs, and sleeving of wires from Thermaltake.

Colors are well represented with the Butterfly power supply. A quick look inside reveals the quality of the componentry.

     Another shot of the colorful orange fans that the Butterfly has. At this point I was "why did they take it to this extreme?" Keep clicking and you'll find out...

     The Thermaltake plate is detachable and can be replaced with a different colors. Sadly a different plate is not part of the kit.

     Here is the fan controller mounted to the front of the Lian Li case. Its very nice in appearance and although we left the separate "jet" fan out of our testing, we used it for controller our "Butterfly's" main PSU fan.
