     The Shark has a ton of tiny holes on the back and front of the power supply.  These holes are called "Hexflo honeycomb technology" and is designed to maximize airflow.

     I found it a little a little odd when I took the front cover off to find that the "hexflo honeycomb technology" was covered with a clear piece of plastic.

     The coolness factor of this power supply is unmatched.  The fins that run along both sides of the top are just cool.

     The Shark advertises "All the connectors you'll ever need" and while the cables are adequate for a typical system, they do not have all the connectors you'll ever need.  First off, there are only two VGA connectors.  A few months ago, this could have been all I would need, but now we have Tri-SLI.  Two VGA connectors may not cut it anymore.  Plus, some video cards want 8 pin VGA power cables and not just 6 pin.  SATA power cables are scarce on this power supply and Molex is in abundance.  This should be the other way around, since it is easier to buy a SATA hard drive than an IDE one now.  More and more optical drives are going to SATA also.  With only 4 SATA you are severely limited to what you can do with your system.
