The Basics (continued):
The instruction booklet is the same for both power supplies. It looks pretty straightforward if you have ever bought and installed your own power supply. There is even more detail on AC input, DC output, and voltages in the booklet.
The accessories included with each unit might be a little different than the normal power supply. The 600W unit included screws, a small clip for the power cord, and a 24 to 20-pin adapter. Most new power supplies have a detachable 4-pin connector which are prone to getting yanked out. The 720W unit has the same clip, a few more screws, and a front end mounting bracket.
 
Both units have a fairly plain appearance with a smooth black finish, but on a high end workstation or server there isn't a big market for neon blue lights everywhere. I personally like the basic look of the power supplies, because honestly, how much do you really look at them? If it had an LED fan, it would most likely be pointing towards a wall or the back of a desk.
 
Both models have plenty of connectors for every device you want to use. The 600W model has one 24-pin ATX, floppy, 8-pin, 4-pin, two PCI-E, seven standard molex, and four SATA cables. The 720W model has one 24-pin ATX, floppy, 8-pin, 4-pin, two PCI-E, nine standard molex, and six SATA cables.
On the side of each unit is the sticker with the AC Input / DC Output and fuse statistics for the individual model. Also included are the normal warnings and stickers for passing various tests.
