Yeah, maybe. They are 10-20mm longer. You have to look at the dimensions before you buy.

For example:

Corsair rm850x is 180mm long

Corsair ax860i is 160mm long

you can get plates to go above the power supply to fill in the space and have it in your color of your choice and also looks pretty nice in your rig

Make one yourself. Cut and paint aluminium or just paint cardboard

You could use acrylic Plexiglas, if you have a plastic shop or someplace similar around, just bring them the dimensions and they can cut and bend it for you, after which you can purchase vinyl sheets like carbon fiber or even the finish you mentioned, wrap it and your done

at least an 850 w yes but check the measurements first because some 850 w can be same size as some 500w
