Stalled Z-CASE P50 v1.1: Innovative console-style SFF PC case

Sorry your wording is a little confusing. The PSU at full load sounds like your cpu cooler at full load? Or the PSU at idle sounds like your CPU cooler on full load? ?
PSU FULL LOAD SOUND = NOCTUA L9A FULL LOAD SOUND
I've been using this without the case. Not sure yet if that will make a difference in the fan ramping up.
I have not noticed any noise coming from the psu at all. It's pretty quiet.
Under load my biggest noise maker is the GPU which is blower style.
I do sit about a meter away from my system.
I just made a pretest build:
- case looks and feels great
- PSU is crazy small!
- PSU- and powerbutton-cable lengths are almost perfect
- USB3-cable is a bit too long and a bit too prominent for my taste (will probably try to hide it under the GPU for the final build)
- Tempered glass is darker than expected, but I like that even more
- customs for germany was 53€
- Gigabyte X570 I Aorus Pro WIFI fits (including backplate)
- spacers are just unpainted aluminum (so I painted them black)
I also didn't had original screws and PSU-cables etc.
But I took some donor parts from my Node 202.
I am still testing this thing for temps...

What cpu are you using? My build is almost the same as yours. I'm using a 3700x.I just made a pretest build:

I have the same CPU (@stock).
Did you test it for temps already?
And if on which cooler?
It's not in any case yet. I'm using the noctua l9a. Stock settings.
Idle about between 35c to 40c
Gaming has been around 50c to 60c
Cinebench gets it up to 81c.
Room temp is usually around 21c

I just got my psu and this is amazing!
Can you please tell me the length for the PCI-E cable? Thanks!
I am really worried about the PSU and that's the only thing keeping me from purchasing this case.
600 watts is fine but what about noise levels?
Is it better if I purchase a Noctua 40mm Fan and replace the one that this Flex PSU has? Is it even possible? Or is the fan they include in this PSU alright?
My computer mostly runs on idle and I game just 2-3 hours per day, I wouldn't want my Computer to sound more as my current one.
It is going to be my first SFF build and Flex PSUs are not common. I'm pretty sceptical about this one.
I will keep my Zotac RTX 2070 Mini and my Hard Drives, all the others are going to be replaced since I have an old Macro ATX Build right now.
So the build I'm focusing on is more likely going to be:
This Case with this PSU
2nd or 3rd gen of Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7 with a Noctua L9A
MSI B450I (or some other brand, I just like MSI)
16gb of RAM on 3200 or 3466MHz (or more, I don't know how this works)
Zotac RTX 2070 Mini
an 1TB M.2 OS drive
my current 4TB 2.5inch 15mm thickness Seagate Drive (I will probably purchase another one later)
and another one but with 2TB of storage and 7mm thickness (installed behind the graphics card, I think it is possible on this case right? if yes I'm going to purchase another one of this)
So in total I will have 13TB of storage, wow.
Is my plan okay? What do you guys think? I really like this case. I would love to have the red one but it is currently unavailable unfortunately...

This is my build:
CPU: Intel Core i7-8700
MB: ASRock Z390 ITX/ac
RAM: Kingston 16GB 2666MHz
GPU: Gigabyte RTX2070 ITX
SSD: Samsung 1TB SM961
Currently it draws 270W from the wall at FULL load, my PSU is 500W and gets the job done, but its rely old and i need to replace it
To be fair, the psu gets kinda loud above 500w usage. But since most ppl won't reach that much wattage (you included), it's pretty silent.
Thanks a lot for the inputs! I agree that the usb cable looks bad, our initial plan was to order black ones, but some issues happened unfortunately. If you are willing to paint it black in some way, I think it will look better.
It should be around 150mm, if I'm not mistaken (2x 6+2 pin).
The psu is pretty quiet until 500w, which you probably won't reach with this build. We don't recommend changing the psu fan, as overheating problems can happen. About the 7mm hdds under the gpu, that's possible.
We are out of stock now unfortunately, but I'll evaluate the possibility of running another batch soon.

Can you please measure it accurately and provide some new pictures?
15cm is NOT ok for PSU cable length, the minimum it should be is 20cm.....
For those waiting for the accessories will we get a tracking number?
