Ncase M1 - Silverstone SFX-L Compatibility?

I have just taken the plunge and invested in a M1 (Build log to follow :D) however I am a little stuck on what PSU to get. Ideally I would like to try the new SFX-L PSU from Silverstone, from the reviews that I have read it's a lot quieter than most of the other SFX offerings however I am concerned as to whether it will restrict what graphics card I can use.

 

Does anyone have any experience with using one of these in a M1, and if not are the standard SFX power supplies that bad of an option?

I dont know about the SFX-L, but I do know that silverstone makes pretty kick-ass normal SFX PSU's.

I read somewhere that with a version revision they made SFX-L possible (so version dependant), but it is a very tight fit with long video cards.

I'm sure I read that a lot of their SFX PSU's fail or have noise issues, do you have one yourself?

Interesting, I have ordered the latest version (Revision 3?) so in theory that would be okay right?

I am going with in theory. I found the post I was referring to. Its in hard forums, but its directly linked from their site in the FAQ section under revision differences (https://www.ncases.com).
