First Impression:
Enermax has designed a box that is direct and to the point, yet is strikingly pleasing to the eye. The box gives you multiple pictures of the power supply from different angles. Also the box is a larger than you would think just for a power supply. Hmmm, There must be more to this inside ...
One end of the box displays the Enermanx logo while the other end shows off the system specs.
The table below gives you a much better look at the specs for the Liberty 500. You can see that there are two +12V's for the PCIe. Yep it is SLI ready!
