PSU should be like a laptop brickish short but I need like 450W out of her minimum.

Max dimensions are 2" high 10" long 5" wide.
 
Some additional specs would be helpful. Does it need multiple voltage outputs? 3.3V, 5V, 12V, or just one output like 19V. Can it be external like a power brick or does it have to be enclosed in a system?

And why 450+Watts? What will it be used for? Is it possible that it could be a lower wattage as long as there is sufficient current at the voltage that you need? For instance 30+ Amps on 12V and only 5 Amps on 5V and 3.3V? This example would provide 360 Watts on the 12V rail, with 400 Watts max.

Side note, you might be looking for something like the Shuttle PC63J, 500W its about 8"x3.25"x2"

Thanks a lot guys. I am building a custom SSF case and that's all the space I have allowed for PSU.

that will be fine the seasonic is best in its class

be warned server form factor psu's are quite basic looking and equipped but that are built to stricter standards then most psu's
 
Looks are no problem. I will sleeve it w/paracord, and mod whole shell with no shell and it will be hidden in compartment I have designed.

Problem is I can't find this anywhere.:(

jonnyguru says reseller price is currently $109.99 but I'll be damned if I can find reseller

Look like I wont be able to.

Value (20% of the final score) - this one's going to be tough. Because these units are not, according to Seasonic, going to be available for retail, nobody has them. Instead, you need to procure them through a Seasonic distributor. That said, the reseller price is currently $109.99. That's actually a pretty good deal compared to the stuff at Newegg, where you can find units this size from the likes of Zippy and FSP for a little more than that. I think I'll go with a 9 here.

Don't mean to thread jack, But building a a HTPC in an old DVD player that I liked. I was looking for a slim and staple Power Supply as well. You mentioned a 1U power supply. Is that a form factor for the supply?

Seasonic model SS-520H1U Active PFC
10.5 long, 4 wide, 1.75 high

has the 24 pin psu,1 atx p4, 2 pcie, 2 molex, 1 floppy, Ill get some pics later

I will remove fans anyway and remove PSU case. Way I designed case airflow all air enters through PSU, goes over mobo then to phobia 200mm rad. 1 200 mm fan cools everything.

dwillis - I am leaning toward the single 12V rail. Sorry never had good luck with multirail PSUs when OCing.
