Production Velka series cases for ultra compact and portable desktops

I have one of those. Actually exactly the same SKU. And it has both EPS and PCIe power connectors. Look for connector that is 6+2.
If that does not help - send a picture of the connectors.
Believe me, I've stared at the connectors for 30 minutes - there's a 24-pin, 4-pin and a 8-pin and not much else (some molex, sata and a floppy disk cable). P3 is missing (edit: or rather, that's the EPS connector).
I thought I scored a deal off of eBay, but apparently not. The seller is reputable and the model matches, so maybe this one came from a custom batch with some pinouts missing.

Sounds like you received a European version of the FSP400-60FGGBA, which has a 4 pin EPS connector instead of the 6+2 PCIE connector. For some reason, FSP sells two (or more, who knows?) differently pinned out power supplies under the same part number.
I would suggest checking whether the seller mentioned a 6+2 PCIE connector in the product description so that you could return it on the basis of an incorrect product description.
Pardon me if this has already been suggested, but I think it's relatively trivial to re-terminate one of the EPS connectors into PCIe 8 pin, I have made some custom length PSU harnesses in the past, and all EPS/PCIe connectors only have ground/sense and 12v rails. If you've got the tools to extract Molex Minifit Jr pins, you can just get a 8 pin PCIe housing and connect the wires appropriately (pin 4 and 8 should be shorted together and both connect to ground if my memory serves right)
You can actually buy EPS to PCIE adapters online as well. That power supply has one 4 pin EPS and one 4+4 pin EPS, so they would have to decide between giving the CPU or graphics card 4 conductors.
I have this unit and it came with the 6+2pin needed for the gpu, there must be 2 versions of this psu if what your saying is true and that you have one that has 2 eps connectors
On an unrelated note, there is now a website: velkase.com. Specifications, user manuals, and contact information can all be found in one place, with no more manual invoicing.

The FSP Dagger 600W ($90) or Corsair SF600 ($115)? They would go on a VK-5 with a 3600 and a Vega 56.
The VK-5 is cramped... After spending some time with mine I recommend individually sleeved cables. So unless you plan on getting custom cables you should really consider spending a little extra cash and getting the SF600 Platinum. I also recommend avoiding 2.5" drives altogether so that you don't have any more cables than necessary. Here's how mine is looking
There is also a really good discount on the "EVGA SuperNOVA 650 GM, 80 Plus Gold 650W". It's would be about $70 (with MIR), it's much cheaper than the SF600 Plat. Do you consider the plat necessary?
Also, what cpu cooler is that? I'm getting a 3600 so I'm thinking of a L9A.

I can take suggestions whenever, but work on the next revision will likely only begin in a couple of months, after some YouTube coverage. The plan is to make new cases in the meantime. Currently on my radar:
- Velka 7. This one will need to have ATX PSU and greater than 2 slot support for accessibility (this case will need to be more than 8 liters in volume to avoid over-saturation), and I cannot decide on the following aspects
- Horizontal orientation, vertical orientation, or making it possible to switch according to user preference
- What the graphics card height clearance should be. It's 142 mm in Velka 5.
- Slim case with SFX PSU support, reference card support around 6.7 L
Oh ok - I think the only one I'd want - lol, so far - is flexibility for the rear HDD mounts similar to the front ones
Dual orientation would be ideal, failing which a vertical one would be more USP I think. Plenty of horizontal 8L+ cases around

Don't want to repeat too much information, read back a few pages and look at my posts. The SF600 Platinum comes with individually sleeved cables while the others don't
You will need to use 4 pin to 6+2 pin adapter in order to use it for the GPU part. I got exactly the same model just like you and I spoke with a guy who told me to use the 4 pin to 6+2 pin adapter in order to use it for the gpu. These are the specs on the site where I bought:
| Connectors | 1 x 24 pin ATX - 32cm long 1 x 8pin EPS12V (4+4 connector) - 32cm long 1 x 4pin ATX12V - 15cm long 4 x 15pin SATA - 2 cable runs each 1st SATA at 35cm 2nd SATA at 50cm 2 x 4pin Molex - 1st molex at 35cm, 2nd molex at 50cm, FDD at 65cm 1 x 4pin FDD |
And the rails are as follows:
| Output Specs: | 3.3V @ 14A 5V @ 16A 12V1 @ 18A 12V2 @ 18A -12V @ 0.5A 5Vsb @ 3A |
You would then use the cable from 8pin EPS12V - with EPS12V 8pin to EPS12V 8pin + PCI-E 6+2pin adapter cable adapter. 12V rail carries 18A so it will be more than enough to deliver power for your GPU + CPU.
This is the cable that I got:

Again not trying to advertise the cable to buy it, just saying what worked for me.
Can you make a case like this?

I do not think that this type of layout would be efficient around the 8.5 L point. Graphics card compatibility would be even more strict than in the Velka 5 unless case length is increased by an additional 30 mm, making the volume 9.5 L or more. At 1.7x the volume of the VK-5, it would only have better CPU cooler clearance. It would make more sense to make a case with this layout around the 11-13 L size, because that would allow for 240/280 mm radiator support and triple slot graphics card support, similar to the NCASE M1.
