Internally:::...

After the recent rash of 450 watt plus sized PSU's, the inside of the Super Tornado looks like it's missing half of its electronics.

The heat sinks look far from adequate at first glance, partly due to their low profile nature which is essential in order to leave room for the fan which sits right above them. They don't offer a whole lot of surface area in truth but their open nature allows air to flow past them and cool the components directly in addition to cooling the actual sinks, a system that seems to work incredibly well in practice.

Bits of clear plastic sheet serving as insulation and stuck on with blobs of gloop have never impressed me much, and the Super Tornado has a few of them, but I should balance that out by saying it's a perfectly reasonable way to do it provided the said gloop doesn't let go its grip over time as the heat frazzles it.

Generally speaking the internal layout is very neat and tidy there are no obvious areas of concern.
