Raijintek had a 450W SFX power supply at their booth last Computex, but as far as I can tell it never came to market. But this year they are showing off two SFX-L units.
First is the LSFX-series Gold-rated 500W(?) Raijintek PSU-4550 unit. As can bee seen on the sign, it features all-Japanese capacitors and will include a SFX to ATX bracket.
It is fully modular.
The sign says 500W, but the label advertises 550W as max load. The 12V only does 41A though so I would personally consider this as more of a 500W units since most modern systems are so 12V heavy. Either way it’s plenty of wattage for a typical SFF gaming build so it’s just a minor quibble.
This is using the popular Sirfa platform used on many of the 500W SFX-L units like the SilverStone SX500-LG. I forgot to ask whether this is using the semi-fanless implementation or not though.
The cables will be ribbon-style, like this 24-pin that I borrowed from one of the ATX units on the shelf. They’ll come in shorter lengths appropriate for an SFF case though.
While this won’t revolutionize the SFF PSU market, more competition is always better. I also kinda like the splash of color with the white and red fan to differentiate their product from the mass of similar SFX-L units.
Price hasn’t been decided, but the rep told me this unit is pretty much ready to go and should be available in the mid-July timeframe.

This is the other SFX-L unit Raijintek had in the booth. It is a Bronze-rated 500W unit that will serve as a cheaper alternative to the above.
I’m not sure on the OEM for this unit.
Nothing solid on release date or price other than it would be after and cheaper than the Gold-rated unit.

I got distracted by the SFX-L and forgot to take pictures or even ask about them, but they also have two SFX Bronze-rated non-modular units of 300W and 400W capacity.

Intended as an upgrade option to show off a video card in one of their ATX cases, Raijintek will be selling this PCIe extender plus GPU bracket separately.
The cable is 200mm long according to the specs.
Both ends of the cable are reinforced with a black plastic piece to the PCB.
The extender will come with this metal bracket that is intended to install in some of Raijintek’s full-tower cases. With some cutting it could be a good starting point for a case mod.
It should release in mid-July for a MSRP of $85.
