the Cooler Master Elite 130 - Mini-ITX Computer Case puts the psu like 3" directly above the CPU cooler, ok for water but severely hampering air cooling.
the case is setup for a full ATX which is cool but excessive.
A SFX psu measures 4.92" x 2.5" x 3.94"
An ATX, 3.39" x 5.91" x 7.09"
so flip a SFX sideways and spin it and it fits an ATX case hole with 1/2" too much up & down.
take the enclosure/fan off the SILVERSTONE SFX Series SX600-G 600W.

it looks like the guts alone would fit fine in the ATX hole.
the AC socket is wired to the main circuit board as is the output sockets daughterboard, allowing both to be re-positioned wherever works best.
that leaves cooling, and a printed duct / mount for the sockets and fan.
the Question is, do I need a Faraday Cagelike cover to replace the metal SFX box ?
or, will having a plastic PSU case pose no radiation problems.
