https://www.techpowerup.com/256088/1stplayer-shows-off-steampunk-line-of-psus-and-extension-cables 1stPlayer unveiled quite a few new products this Computex, beginning with the Steampunk line of power supplies and power accessories. The Steampunk series consists of fully-modular PSUs in upper-mid range capacities such as 750W. These PSUs come in two physical variants, all-black, and white with RGB-LED illuminated 140 mm fans. Like most other PSUs launched this year, the 750W Steampunk includes two 4+4 pin EPS connectors, besides four 6+2 pin PCIe power, six SATA power, and three Molex. A single +12V rail design and most common electrical protections make for the rest of it. 1stPlayer also unveiled a series of Steampunk-branded PSU extension cables purchasable separately from the PSUs. These include colorful fiber braided sleeved individual cables of various shapes and sizes (24-pin, 8-pin EPS, 6+2-pin PCIe, etc.,), or illuminated cables with addressable RGB LED lighting up each cable.

That really looks Steampunk...
If you are going to call it steampunk it should have brass pipes and look like a 1920's radio. It should just have that feel like it's old. Not just stamp a word on a PSU.

Curious how this is steampunk ?    ......besides the all white lettering telling me so. It's not even brass colored or dials painted on it , at the very least?

Is it just me, or does their logo look similar to Corsair's logo? From a distance, they have the same shape of multiple pointy swooping objects.

Close Panz but not quite.  Here, let me take a stab at it. What does.......  + + .....have in common? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! FAIL!!! It's a Chinese company with no creativity but took a bunch of popular cultural things and slapped them together hoping they stick. Stay away like the plague if you care about your components.

Well, I see we're all in agreement about the name versus what it actually looks like...

Panzlock -- great post! Still ROFL!
BTW, does anyone have any info on PC cases or components that ACTUALLY FIT the steampunk theme?

Totally. There is absolutely NOTHING 'steampunk' about their product at all. This to me is a HUGE red flag not to touch their crap with a 20 foot pole, even if it was free.
