I have and the only ones i see are like $120.00 and that's allot for only 600W

While it works well for hard drives, price per unit isn't a great way to look at PSU's. Too much going on inside them for that.

Define SFF.  If you specifically mean SFX, then you're basically stuck with using Silverstone or this Seasonic one. beQuiet has options, but I don't know if they're in the US market.

 

If you mean an ATX PSU that's on the short side, there's a thread on overclock.net that used to serve as a database that has recently been revived.

 

But if you're in the market for a SFX PSU, I'd wait for the Silverstone SX500-LG to launch.

ya but when you can buy a 600W corsair 80 Plus bronze for about $ .10 a watt and a SFX powersupply with he same specs for $120 it seem to be kind of scewed a bit

Well the 3 you showed me were less then the 550-600W i wanted and I aware that atx PSU are a thing and are at a better price point but this isn't going into a conventional case and I would like to keep the foot print as small as possible. also I dont plan on waiting months for a power supply that I am building now. 

 

and also SFF stands for Small Form Factor

No, it's much smaller, and better.

Like ssd vs hard drive (not really but kinda)

Silverstone is the only one that makes 600w SFX psu's.

Thats it.

I knew that lol. I just asked because SFF isn't a PSU form factor, and because I scrolled past your initial post without seeing you wanted SFX at 550-600W. Sorry. xD

 

But if you want 550-600W in SFX, there's only one choice. You're SOL. If it makes it any better, their SFX 600W is 80+ Gold. 600W 80+ Gold with full modularity is usually ~$80-90 without discounts/promotions.

I think Silverstone is the only company who makes 600w SFX PSUs. Be Quiet makes one SFX PSU but it's only 400w. Unfortunately if you really want to go as small as possible, it's going to cost you, $120 in this case.

ya Im seeing that to =(  I have a couple spare PSU at home that I think ill try to fit in there first and if that doesn't work ill buy the Silver stone one
