Judging by the website your chances of using a ATX psu with a 12" GPU are zero.
Basically you can use an ATX PSU if:-
You have a short gfx card, 7.5" or smaller
Sorry, forgive my previous answer. Not helpful. Thing with ATX PSUs is really that, even if you manage to find a non-modular 140mm of reasonable quality, it's not going to be fun fitting it and its sprawl of cabling.
What GPU are you planning? You know the ST45SF-G can handle most single-chip GPUs, and there is a 500W and a 600W coming out (maybe not soon though).
How about dual PSUs?
A HDplex 250W for the motherboard and then a 450W SFX for the GPU.
While that is a valid idea, the 450W PSU will still not be enough for the R9 295X2, which easily pulls 450-500W on it's own. And you don't want to just barely satisfy the power needs.How about dual PSUs?

Are you guys taking into account that this case is rated for 400W of heat? I'm afraid the case temperature will be way too high.
I've told people that the M1 isn't really designed to deal with the heat a 500W+ dual GPU card would produce. The fact that the case will get pretty warm with e.g. a GTX780 or R9 290X, which pull <300W... another 200W won't be pretty. It may work, because as WiSK has pointed out, it's not so much the heat we feel that matters, but the temperature the components were designed to run at. But the subjective experience is still important; while the case being hot to the touch won't necessarily be problematic for the components, it is for the user.What do you mean Chrytek? Who has rated the M1? And how did they come up with that figure?

But yes, even if you could accomodate the heat of an X2 by turning the M1 into a massive heatsink - you won't be able to touch the case
with a 970.. with short pcb?
I can confirm this will eat up every inch of space in your box. I personally was able to mount two 840pro's to the front behind the faceplate. I don't own any 3.5 so I don't know if that works in the front or not.
No I am running an Asus 780GTX stock, the fan on the GPU is more than adequate, I don't really have the money to do watercooling on the GPU. H80i on the CPU, Fractal Design R3 Newton 1000W (Reused off last build). Rad is in front of the CPU (fan is mounted between the cpu and to the RAD blowing air through the Rad and out of the case. ATX power supply is mounted with the fan blowing into the case. (Otherwise doesn't work). Considering the CPU is watercooled I don't really care so much. Geforce card is wedged into the bottom two slots with the Adex and its quite the project to get it in. Cables are a mess mainly because there's no where to put them. 840pro's dual mounted in the front. No ODD. No pictures until I can get my new phone, should only be a couple more days. The GF card mainly blows air out the back vents so I'm not seeing any issues with it.
