SFF.Network [SFF Network] Raijintek shows off "Micro ATX" and SFX PSUs

Raijintek is probably a name that isn't super familiar to SFF enthusiasts, but they've been making inroads into the market with their ITX Metis and mATX Styx cases. At Computex, they're showing off new power supplies that are of interest.

First are the so called "Micro ATX" units. I'm not fond of the name because the term "Micro ATX" or "mATX" for power supplies is confusing since it's not an actual standard and it has also been used to describe power supplies of the SFX and ATX PS/3 form factors. Quibbles about the name aside, they are ATX power supplies but with a shorter than standard depth, at just 125mm instead of 140mm.

Meh, the 'Micro ATX' units are just cop-outs. go SFX (or TFX or Flex-atx) or go home!

Ironically, SFX-L power supplies are soon to be available with higher wattages than short (<=140mm) standard ATX power supplies, making them practically redundant (except for cost and potentially noise).

At least the Raijintek units here are actually smaller than normal. They could teach a thing or two to Cougar: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/cougar-psus-cases-computex,31867.html

"Ultra-Compact Fully Modular Power Supply"

Oh, exciting!

*checks and sees that it is a 600W 140mm ATX unit*
