FSP Group Mini ITX Solution/Flex ATX 80 Plus Gold 250W Power Supply (FSP250-60FAG)

Let's get the modding info/issues out of the way...FAN REPLACING/MODDING FOR HTPC OR SILENT HOMELAB:Fan information for FSP Group Mini ITX Solution / Flex ATX 80 Plus Gold 250W Power Supply (FSP250-60FAG)40x40x15mm; MGA4012YB-A15; 12V 0.15A; 2-PinStartup Noise: >40db easily.Full Load Noise: Unknown, guessing over 40db as well.Idle Noise: 20db, slight non-noticeable whine. At or near home-theater tolerable levels.Removal of case required to replace fan? Yes, and the wires are wrapped around the main break-out. Be careful.Cutting of the wires required? Yes, insulation drips makes it very difficult to get at the pinout.Will a Noctua 40x40x20mm fit? NO, there is no board clearance, and cutting the case near the break out would be required.Will a Noctua 40x40x10mm fit? YES. Will it suffice? Maybe... The density of the insides make that a little debatable for air flow.Can a fan be modded in the back near the power connector? NO. Not even 5mm clearance.TESTING OF UNIT: All green. Using PSU PC/SPS tester.INSIDE:There are insulation drips everywhere, and may be stuck on top of the case too, feeling like it was 'glued' accidently as well as screwed on. Just be careful removing the cover. It is incredibly dense with components and the inductor coils overhang the board near the fan, another reason why a 40x20mm fan won't fit even if 'jammed' in. Are there any 'cheating' weights? Not really, seems to be all legit, caps look fine as if brand-new (as it should be).PROS:- Very short.- Fan is quiet at idle- Gets the job done, for now, we'll see if it'll last, just got it today (10/31).CONS:- Cover screws feel cheap and strip easily, then again, they shouldn't be taken off anyway unless replacing the fan.- Fan is 40x15mm 12V and has the potential to be quite loud.- No idea why the side vent exist, they are covered up internally via airflow/insulation boards.- Fan vent near the breakout is incredibly malleable and will bend easily, but will not allow a 40x20mm fan to fit regardless of that 'flaw'.

Great little ATX power supply form factor. Take care not to mistake it for the 1U ATX form factor (like I did). Luckily there are adapters for the pack plate. Very quiet and efficient.
