    Antec ARIA Micro-ATX Case Review - The Included Power Supply


    (Page 3 of 8 )

    As do most Antec cases, the ARIA comes with an Antec power supply.  An Antec didn't hold back on the ARIA like most manufacturers do with their Mini-ATX cases. As we see here, Antec packed a 300 Watt Antec Power Supply under the hood of the ARIA. And if you look at the backplane picture again you will notice that this power supply has a 120mm fan inside, it moves sufficient amounts of air to keep the power supply cool, and it's super quiet! The second picture below is a close up of that 120mm exhaust fan.

    This should be more that sufficient for most Micro-ATX setups.

    The only issue with the power supply is that if you have to remove it for any reason, you will also have to unplug the power 3-Wire connector that is located on the outside of the power supply; see the picture below.
