SilverStone's Strider Essential Gold PSUs Revealed
SilverStone has built a simple power supply that should do the job for most users.
SilverStone's Strider Essential Gold series of PSUs have been revealed, and they do exactly what the name implies – provide you with just the essentials of a power supply, and nothing more.
The power supplies' power envelopes range from 500 W to 700 W, and they are all 80 Plus Gold certified. The units are built with a single powerful 12 V rail. All the expected safety features are provided, including OCP, OPP, OVP, UVP, OTP and SCP.
Physically, the units are only 14 cm in length – quite short. Cooling of the units is taken care of by a large fan that is built with ceramic bearings and should normally operate with a noise level of only 18 dBA.
So there you have it; a simple, efficient, quiet, and probably affordable power supply. There was no word yet on what the ST50F-ESG, ST60F-ESG and ST70F-ESG units would cost in the U.S., but European street pricing ranges from about €80 to €100.

You're talking about the Strider Gold S which is a completely different series than the Strider Essential Series mentioned in this article.
"the Aurum's signature hexagonal grill" is an FSP trademark. Why would SilverStone infringe on that trademark or pay a licensing fee for the use of it when it has no functional advantage?
SilverStone, as FSP's customer, can specify whatever they want for appearance of the PSU shell as well as the components quality. All of XFX's PSUs are made by Seasonic but they all don't look like Seasonic units.
EVGA's Nex650G and Nex750G are made by FSP and are based on the FSP AURUM platform. They don't look anything like the equivalent FSP model.
