First Looks

The Cooler Master Real Power Pro 1250W isn't decorated specially. It's the standard Cooler Master PSU design on the exterior: glossy and highly reflected silver/chrome. The informational label is on the outward facing side of the unit, with nothing on the top or other side.

The rear is hexagonally meshed and noticeably lacks a hardware power switch.

The bottom of the unit bears a ball-bearing 135 mm fan to keep air flowing through the unit. The cables egress from the side of the unit, and are protected from grinding against the side of the unit by a plastic ring.

Connector-wise, there is one 20+4 pin motherboard connector, a 4-pin and an 8-pin CPU connector, three 8-pin PCI-Express connectors, six 6-pin PCI-Express connectors, seven 4-pin Molex device connectors, eight SATA connectors, and two floppy connectors.
