All the cables are modular, including the mandatory ones like the ATX cable. The reason Silverstone does this is because they also sell a short cable kit for their power supplies. Ever tried to pack a really long cabled power supply into a M-ATX case? It isn't easy, is it? The Silverstone short cable kit is made specifically for short towers and M-ATX cases and gets rid of all the slack or bulk left behind from the longer cables. I personally love this accessory, partially because I'm a cable neat-freak in all my computers. The smoother the airflow, the lower RPM and quieter the fans I can run!
Cables are as follows:
The fan that cools the ST75F-P is a 135mm Silverstone branded fan. This fan is rated at an approximate noise level of 19-36dBA and airflow volumes are not provided by Silverstone. Based on the life spans I see on all the current Silverstone fans on their website, my guess is that they're still using a ball-bearing design (50000hrs MTBF). The fan bearing noise on the last few Silverstone power supplies has been noticeably louder than those with fans of identical sizes in power supplies from some other companies. Keep in mind all of the power supplies, including the Silverstone, are still incredibly quiet for the money. Silverstone commented to me that they tend to use dual ball-bearing fans in their higher wattage (over 600W) power supplies, as the more expensive bearing design will stand up better under high heat. I don't mind sacrafising a little noise under low-load for a more reliable fan!
