My Flex-ATX power supply arrived. I bought a Seasonic SSP300-SUB, and the 80+ bronze version has a silent fan mode in lower loads which the gold version lacks. I have not plugged it in to test components yet, but I have installed it in the case with no problems.However the first test is finding the best way to route the cables inside of the case. This power supply has one detachable cable which splits into all of its connectors (EPS, 24 pin, SATA, etc). It is 150mm long like most Flex ATX power supplies, which leaves 38mm of room for cables in the front, and about 8mm of empty space on top and the sides. I'm guessing that the cables can be routed with enough effort, but they are still stiff. I have to see how builds inside the Velka 3 or those tiny Taobao cases accomplish it.Surprisingly, the power supply stays up straight despite nothing to prop it below when the case is standing in vertical position. There's no bending of the case around the PSU which is always good. I used three screws to mount the power supply which are longer than typical power supply screws, to account for the thickness of the case walls.
