Hi, I'm building a new pc and my brother gifted me the Lianli OD11 Mini case. I already have a full size ATX motherboard and a rtx 2060. I was looking at 650W SFXL powersupplies and a lot of the reviews mentioned the cables were too short even for some itx cases. Does anyone know if thats an issue I need to look out for? Should I buy extra cables or are there any good suggestions for the case?

Could always buy cable extensions if they are too short.

I got these just for looks but if you do run into issues with length I recommend these.

I used a Corsair SF600 and it worked fine for me. Even had some extra length on the 24 pin I had to hide. Keep in mind that this case puts the PSU directly behind the motherboard. It's not trying to run to the front of the case and then up to the top. It's pretty much right there. 6800xt, I was able to get both PCIE 8 pins just fine as well.

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

Yep.  I have an SF600 in a Meshify and only needed to get a longer EPS12V.  Cost all of $5.
