ThinkComputers take a look at the Stallion series RD600N 600W power supply unit from Silicon Valley-based Rosewill, the computer and electronics manufacturer that makes just about every non-essential part of a computer.

Packaging

The RD600N, specifically the RD 600N-2DC-SL-SLV, arrives in a small, black box with Rosewill's trademark logo. The logo reminds me of a 1920s baseball jersey-it's neat. The side of the box bears mention of the above features/specifications, but the rest is blank, save a input/output voltage sticker on the backside which is identical to the sticker on the actual unit.

Within the box is the PSU, a power cord, and a short English-only manual. The weight of the unit is comparable similarly-powerful units.
