In case you are planning on doing some last minute savings, if you are going to get a dual SFX PSUs, make sure it's the 450w Strider Gold (like you what you got) and not the Bronze unit. The ST45SF cannot deal with the irregular load of that system you are running due to its group-regulated scheme, unlike the ST45SF-G which ultilizes a DC-DC VRM.

He is making really small case than can only fit 2x SFX psu...

then he why is he using two PSUs? Makes no sense! It will just take up more space...

he should just get a server PSU which is much smaller and extremely small form factor, especially the 1U units

The goal with the case is to have it as thin as it can be and fit within the 21.5 inch screens L/W. The SFX PSU is not as tall as ATX PSUs, making the case thinner. There is no space in the design I've done in sketchup for a ATX PSU, but there is space for 2 SFX PSUs. If you read the first page, you would know that.

but you can get smaller PSUs or mod one youself instead of putting 2

... there aren't smaller psus

... I can't mod a psu to be smaller?

I've been working on a new design anyway in sketchup and I'll be able to fit a atx psu, so it doesn't matter anyway. Now just to decide whether I'm watercooling it or not and how many gpus (1 or 2)

server PSUs are much smaller and compact, but they do not have the standard 24pin atx and other cables a PC needs im pretty sure

you might be able to find one that does, i never checked

 

it is possible to open your PSU and remove the fan to slim down the profile, as long as there is airflow in your case

 

also did you just say you were going to watercool your PSU? when you said 'it'
