Possible solution - included cable is short or shorter but comes with an extension. This extension in bulk should not add a lot of cost and users are free to use their own extensions of course. It is not ideal due to extra bulk of the two extra plugs and general stiffness of 24pin cables, but...

I don't disagree with having multiple tiers but following the cookie cutter crowdfund levels with crapy like stickers and shirts cheapens the case and campaign (in my opinion of course). The cerberus was very well produced and presented and they are offering freaking stickers, coffee cups etc...

NUCs.

Well the 700W one is SFX-L and the corsair one is SFX. I prefer the smaller SFX size if their fan is not too loud under load. The 700W one will probably be super quiet as you'll only be drawing around half that with any single GPU card, under load. Combined with a larger fan too.

I'm very curious how they tested, or how PSUs are tested before release (aside from normal testing). Does any real world testing get done? Does anyone even do that with PSUs? Like beta testing for hardware.

Limitation of the shape. Recessed plugs if possible but another idea would be plugs that extend on a short cable. Would look a bit ugly if you're using sleeved cables (due to a plug hanging there) but it would not matter for most ultra SFF cases and custom designs. It means you can angle and...

@Saper that looks like a cut down SFX version of the CM elite 110.

The url should be dankcase.com

Well a quarter is 3 months. It could come at the start of october or end of the year (essentially the start of 2016). I am betting later than sooner. My expectations are basically january 2016 to buy and receive one.

Smallest ATX case.. sounds like a fun challenge.

PC part picker only collects items and shows you prices at various stores (if you're still wondering). You'll have to order from the stores themselves, but on PC part picker you can choose a single store to get more accurate pricing and do other things.

I'm not fussed either way really, SFF builds usually don't show off internals as much as a windowed tower. If they will charge more to adapt for black cables then it's not worth it.

Liquid cooling for an i5 4460 is just.. You also forgot the case. Otherwise it's not a bad build. I would swap for a cheaper R9 280 though. Case options: SG13 over the SG05, RVZ01/RVZ02/FTZ01, FT03 mini, Elite 130.

I think all black is better. It far outweighs the convenience to people who want to mod that cable, which would be a small percentage in any case. I actually got a reply from FSP and replied with a brief explaination of the current situation.

Using the same mobo, GPU and PSU position does not make it "95%" the same. It is not patented and the execution is what sets cases apart.

Internal PSU and extenal PSU cases are different and basically different markets. I don't think anyone will be using his design but if the case is popular enough, Dan may be able to do more production runs. I highly doubt it will be 'bought up' and the layout is not patented in every country...

Yeah... they don't just pull a case out like that. They may have started a year ago or even longer.

I don't agree with calling it a copy, i mean, at what point do you stop calling a mere layout a 'copy'? The thermaltake debacle is a bit silly for the same reason - the caselabs case is superior and not the same design, and there are existing cases that use the same shape and layout. The...

This PSU if delivered, would not be the same class as a retail PSU so not being 'ready out of the box' is not an issue imo. It's for people who want a bit more space in a small case or designing their own cases. I don't see the benefit of going to all this trouble to get this form factor PSU...

In my case, I would not use any sata connectors. I have a single 512gb crucial m550 m.2 SSD. At most, I could attach one extra SSD or HDD. I think 2 connectors will be plenty. An alternative is including one sata cable and 1-2 short molex. The end user can source their own molex to sata cables...

Look at it this way - your 'retail' case will have a semi-permanent mounting solution for the PSU and drives or whatever else. Ultimately it's your case but I think it's not the right time to bring to market if foam tape is the best solution you have. I wouldn't if this was my case, but...

There are things you can skip like toolless features, noise cancelling and so on, but I would not use double sided foam tape at all. It may mean adding 2mm of thickness or whatever, and that's entirely up to you whether it's worth it or not. Again, foam tape is crossing the line for me. It...

You said it yourself - the ticking noise. The issue isnt with semi fanless, it's the fact there is a ticking (or any sound) that should not be there AT ALL when switching the fan on and off. This happened with the 600W as well afaik. Semi fanless is always better but odd noises due the...

Ermahgerd. Stuff happening! The chances of this making it to retail in Australia would be.. slim.

Scythe have 12mm thick 120mm fans. I have one in my hand now.

At this point, I don't even care about the noise level, it's the reports of unusual sounds that would have any normal fan sent back as defective. And another one has come up since you posted (by user chillmode). I have never experienced any extra noises from turning a fan on and off and I have...

I have been designing my own similarly sized case for about as long. In my earlier design that had the same coolers intaking fresh air direct from outside, an idea was to use foam around the fan circles. The thickness would have been 2-4mm but could be anything to match the cooler used. I've...

I find it funny we're actually wanting a fan without the semi-fanless/passive feature. I would probably buy one right now if it was available in/to Australia. Haven't looked very hard but shipping will 95% be a killer. Can I also ask how you've used or tested it? * Case used * Distance...

First off, I am not a typical customer/user of the 500W SFX-L and it's fine if you aren't spending 99% of your time catering ot 1% of customers. I have read all kinds of reviews on all kinds of sites inclding newegg. The issue with those reviews are the fact their opinions are unverified. The...

The only reason i'm not buying this unit or any of the SIlverstone SFX units is because of irregular fan noise behaviours reported in many places including this thread. I was actually very close to buying one but they were out of stock (website stock count incorrect). The alternative for my...

The most ideal is the Asus H97i or Z97i. The MSI and asrock one both do not support 80mm m.2 drives. I have a Crucial M550 512gb m.2 SSD in a Asus H97i.

Has silverstone acknowledged or commented on the noises and sounds coming from their SFX and SFX-L PSUs? I have entirely given up on the existing units. The other two SFX-L PSUs are not and will likely not be available in Australia so silverstone units are the only ones I have access to. For...

I have a machine with a G1820 and GTX 460 768mb that can run D3 at 1920x1200 smoothly (max settings from memory).

Doesn't look like any of the striders have semi passive modes but the gold ones up to 750W have a minimum RPM close to 500 which should be silent enough. Currently the stirder 650W gold is the best fit.

I can't seem to find this strider X PSU on their website, through google or at any local stores. If you mean seasonic X, they are 160mm long.

I'm talking about ATX PSUs. In particular, i'm looking at silverstone's 600W silver fully modular ST60F-PS. How much do the cables stick out if you bend them sideways (at a right angle)? Measured from the flat surface of the PSU case to the point it bends. I estimate 4-5cm to be safe. I'm...

There is potential in the tiny PSU + 2 bricks idea. This could result in a much smaller case while being overall 'larger' and heavier with the 2 bricks - however, those bricks can be much easier to transport than one larger box (comparatively large). Tonight I took a HTPC I bought in a ML03...

NZXT use thumbscrews with a washer of some kind. Making it a captive one would be even better.

None of the SFX PSUs from silverstone perform as quiet as ATX PSUs so i'm holding out for one that is not going to be noisy/annoying. And widely available enough that I can purchase in Australia (don't think any of the other SFX/L brands will sell here).

This is what I gathered from all the things I read. 600W is not as loud but more annoying and the 450W is louder but less annoying.. and 500W is a bit of both. I find this rather amusing but incredibly annoying because I can't design a case using either PSU. The other SFX-L PSUs are not...
