New PSUs from Fractal Design range in wattage from 450W to 750W

Fractal Design is perhaps best known for its line of cases, like the Define XL or Core 3000. However, that's not all the company is into. Fractal Design just rolled out a new family of modular power supplies dubbed Edison M. They're available in a variety of wattages, including 450W, 550W, 650W, and 750W, each with modular cables and 80 Plus Gold efficiency certification.
Each unit sports a temperature controlled FDB-bearing 120mm fan, Japanese electrolytic capacitors, over-temperature protection, short circuit protection, and other safeguards that are relatively standard fare in today's power supplies. One area where the Edison M may stand out is by having an "extra-long" ATX 12V cable to accommodate cases with bottom-mounted PSU positions -- the 4+4 pin measures 700mm and the ATX 20+4 pin measures 550mm.
The Edison M utilizes a single +12V rail design, with 37A available on the 450W model, 45A on the 550W, 54A on the 650W, and 72A on the 750W.
Compared to other PSUs that appear to be in the same class, Fractal Design's Edison M Series seems to run a little high. MSRPs are $85 for 450W, $95 for 550W, $105 for 650W, and $120 for 750W.
