My biggest issue is what is the largest GPU you could run at 450Watts? Wouldn't you need something like a 500-550 watt to power an entire system, especially one that is OC'd?
A couple folks on here are running GTX 680's on them.
Hmm that seems a bit scarey since the 680's have been benchmarked to use I think it was around 300ish watts at full load during benchmarks.
So I wasn't really off at all, running that high of load as the PSU ages might not be the best idea, ...
To measure power consumption we use a P3 International Kill-A-Watt device to measure power consumption from the wall. The entire testing system, excluding the speakers and monitor, are plugged into the Kill-A-Watt device. Therefore, power consumption numbers include all components, not just the video card.
I dont think that you need the short cable kit. The cables in the specs are around 30cm to 40 cm. Similar to the PPT05. They are probably measured to fit good with the SUGO series and Forttress ITX case. There is no picture on the site but there should be one split PCIE 2x6 pin cable for that blue plug like int the ST PSUs.The supplied cables are long, but it should pair well with the Short Cable Set
I seem to remember there were talks of an individually-sleeved cable kit. Not sure if it'll be short or regular length.
I haven't worked with the SUGO cases, but the FT03-Mini has such a strange layout that it would greatly benefit from short, modular cables. Because of the placement of the PSU in relation to the motherboard the main power and CPU cables could be 10cm long. Other cables could be 20cm and be plenty long. However I know that won't happen unless they sell a specific cable kit for the FT03-Mini, and at that point $130 for the PSU and another ~$30 for a cable kit makes it a rather pricey solution. I'm highly tempted to de-solder my current PSU and create custom lengths as there just isn't room for clean cable management with 30-40cm long cables in this case:I dont think that you need the short cable kit.

You kinda have worked with the Sugo cases, because the FT03-Mini is more or less just an SG05/06 with a different outer shell.
Could you elaborate on this a bit? What crimp tool do you have, is it one that works with the modular connectos on the power supply? Do you re-use the pins on the connectors, or do you have a source for new pins?But then I have the crimp tool and I understand that many people don't want to make that investment.

What if I just cut the wires of the cables I don't use and just cover the ends with tape
Tony mentioned there was a couple weeks delay for some reason so I'm guessing August now. Can't be too long if they are showing it on their website I would think.
Its an easy enough job to desolder the wires from the board.
A pin is just easier with warranty and stuff. And to be honest I'm not really a hero with a soldering iron.
