Thank you for finding/suggesting this. This has now been considered, and following some concerns raised by other forum members I will not be using this cable. Main concerns is the strength of the cable sleeving, and the terminals and any risk of bare wire being exposed. I will however be looking to incorporate the original cable into the design and will move the PSU completely inside. Pics of the suggested cable below for people following to save clicking the link.
No idea, but as with all mains power wiring, insulation is absolutely crucial. And, as these are individual wires and thus only have a single (and relatively thin) layer of insulation, they are inherently more vulnerable than the more common wire types for AC. There's nothing inherently dangerous about this type of design, but it's not something normally seen in user-accessible parts of a product.
Enough said, I will be looking to incorporate the initial cable into the design, not this one. Whilst considering this cable I have come up with a few ideas on how to make it work, so will remain with the initial cable:
The difficulty is that the power cable when plugged into the psu adds 20mm to the length of the psu, and due to the position of the power button it might interfere with the modular part of the psu. I'll give it some thought to see if there is an alternative option for the power button, or will check for likely clearance for modular pcb/connectors and will update
So I have now changed the power button to a 12mm button, and moved it a few mm's along. From looking at images of your modular PSU, I think the only bit that would have had clearance issues (the power connectors) finish a few mm's from the end. I think it will be incredibly close, but I am pretty sure it will fit
Thanks for your query, this may sound odd however the grill on a case like the Meshilicious would, despite its huge vented area, cause some restriction on the airflow due to the holes being so small. It is acting a bit like a filter, and it is likely that the vent holes on a case such as this, or something like the SFFtime P-ATX v3 or Nfc S4 Mini would have higher air flow (I think
)

It will be made in the UK, I have considered making it somewhere cheaper like China, but due to the batch numbers I'm expecting, it is unlikely to reduce the cost. I'd be happy to consider shipping it outside of the UK if anyone is interested.
Thank you for your query, there would be space to fit a 2.5" SSD/HDD. I haven't included mounting holes for this, I will either include double side sticky pads, or will add a mount/mounting holes when I order/send out the first batch. I will update the post and listing on my site with the solution I go with. Hope that helps
