Hey guys. I've decided to revive my SFF by rebuilding it into a Silverstone SG01 Evolution. Unlike my former, cramped Aria, the Evo needs its own power supply. I was wondering if any could provide suggestions for power supplies that would fit and are known to be high quality. My current front runners are the Silverstone Strider models, the OCZ ModStream, and the Enermax Liberty. I've been looking at modular power supplies to cut down on wasted space. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks
 
I've used a ST60F Strider in the SG-01E. You can barely use a NEC 3520A in the bottom 5.25" bay(you'll be pinching the IDE cable). The top bay is no issue.
 
Thanks. Do you think its worth it to put a 600+ watt PSU into the SFF? I'm planning to use a S939, maybe even Dual Core, and a single high end graphics card. No SLI for me. Would a good 500w do just as well, or should I look for a higher end model?
 
I'm curious as well. I'd like to Pick up this same case and am wondering if the 480 NEO is sufficient, or, should I just purchase another modular PSU? I will be using the EVGA SLI nForce4 motherboard with this, so I would like to leave a little headroom in the power dept.

I just set in my purchase order to newegg and decided on the Enermax Liberty 620. From what I could tell, it is the smallest modular power supply (140mm depth if my source was correct), as compared to the larger Silverstone Strider 600 model and the OCZ ModStream. PC Power and Cooling was more than I wanted to spend and way too big/loud for such a tiny case. If you order now, there's a $20 mail in rebate at newegg on the 620.

It seems like a good choice for you to go, if you plan to go SLI and want power to spare. Of course, if anyone has better data than I, feel free to post it.
