    Hey Combatus, about the hight of the Silverstone's SFX PSU: is it 51.5mm? in the official site they say it's 63.5mm. could you please check and confirm what is the actual hight?

    Good looking mod, man :rock:

    Thanks for checking, man :thumb: Shame as I was hoping you got it right and they got it wrong. oh, well.

    I've got another question if I may: how noisy/quiet is this particular PSU? from my experience, Silverstone's ATX PSUs are typically whisper-quite and I was wondering if they managed to pull it off in the smaller form factor as well (btw, I'm aware that this kind of thing is always a subjective matter, but I'm curious as to your impression).

    No probs. It's extremely quiet actually. Maybe not quiet as unnoticeable as a good ATX PSU, but it's far from annoying. I think my hard disk makes more of a racket!

    I've been working on my flame polishing techniques actually! Bought a fantastic little mini blow torch for the job so will be dismantling the whole case at some point to do it, and the roof section. Should have a mega update at some point :D
