Congratulations, quite a decent review, and the positive result isn't surprising at all. Here's hoping there'll be many more to come.

A4 SFX baptized housing graphics cards up to a length of 295 mm and is even able to cool powerful processors well.
We should all call them pixel accelerators, that sounds cooler than graphics card.While the right side receives an upside Mini-ITX mainboard, the left space is one and only withheld the Pixel Accelerator.
Ty for your suggestions, but that still doesn't answer any of of my questions. I understand if there is no interest in redesign of drive cage, but I would like to know if 2 x 9.5 mm drives would fit if drive cage was changed - even if there is no interest in it I would make my own - but I need to know if it would fit because I plan on buying drives this week.Toshiba has made a 3TB model since march, moreover you'd be limited to that specific samsung drive and 2TB. If this redesign was possible (i don't know the clearance) it would most likely not be the preferred solution for the majority. Also the drive cage itself can't be made more than 0,5mm thinner because it would not be sturdy enough. I suggest you try and mount one HDD in the bottom and put the other one one top with double-sided tape.
Depending on GPU size, thickness, and cooler design (i.e. probably only with a blower) you might be able to wedge in an SSD unmounted in the GPU compartment. As long as it's not obstructing the intake fan or pressed right onto the GPU (could result in heat conduction to the drive) it should be fine. Not a great idea for a HDD though.
Under a SFX-L is 44,5mm left space (minus modular connectors and minus cable).
Why do you need 700w given that the case only supports mobo with one graphic card?

Maybe he's going for LGA2011-3 and intel extreme processor or xeon + overclocking of both cpu and gpu?
He didn't say he needs 700w, he said he's curious about the noise.
The current SFX-L offerings leave a lot to be desired in that department. A higher wattage possible means higher quality components were used, so that a system drawing ~300w may be cooled quietly (or even silently).
As far as I know the current Silverstone 500w sfx-l's fan is only controlled by the thermistor, so it can spin up under even 5% load.
The new 700w one is suppose to work differently.
The Corsair SF600 is suppose to use a 92mm fan instead of the common 80mm fans on sfx psu's.
I have the Silverstone SFX modular 450w, and I can say unequivocally that it is not audible until stressed very hard, then it'll definitely emit a low to moderate volume whine. I was running an overclocked 4770k and an overclocked GTX 780 on it for a year, certainly pushing it to it's limit but not breaking it. Since upgrading to a 1450mhz/8ghz GTX 980, even under load it is entirely inaudible for 12+ inches away.

The gold or the bronze one?
I have the Gold and is audible unless I push the CPU and GPU and the only noise I hear is the one of this two components.
I think the noise issue is different for each one of us, unless you compare what is more or less audible.
I've been following this project for a few months and haven't noticed this question being asked, but forgive me if it has been.
Would plasti dipping the PCI extender (specifically the green PCB part) be harmful? I don't think it would be since plasti dip is non conductive, but I don't know if the heat insulation would be a problem. Now that the next NCASE project is running into some setbacks I'm starting to look at this case a little more seriously.
