I though Antec TrueControl550w plugs were black?

I just brought the Antec TrueControl 550w power supply and I thought that I read somewhere that all the power connectors on this PSU where Black? The reason they are black is for cases with Windows in them so it makes it look nice and doesn't make the old white plugs stick out?

What's strange is that I got my PSU yesterday and ALL the plugs on it are the standard White color and NOT black. Does anybody have the same PSU and can you verify the color of your plugs? Is it possible that some units have Black and some have White ?

very weird

My system:
P3 850mhz (100fsb), 512 Micron PC133, Abit SE6, IBM Deskstar 75gxp (60 gig @ 7200rpm), Hercules 3D Prophet 2 GTS (64 meg), SB Live MP3, Pioneer 16x DVD, Asus 45x CD-Rom

He has a TruePower, you have a TrueControl. These are different lines I think.

Here's the secret behind the name: A "True Power" really DOES put out what it's rated at! That's why they called them "true power". It was either that, or admit they lied when they rated their other supplies.

The only difference between a TrueControl550 and a TruePower550 is an included control panel for manually adjusting the voltage rails. I have a TruePower550 and my molex connectors are black. I think it may be the newer units that have the black connectors. Maybe you just have a unit from an early batch.
