PSU with short cables? M-ITX build

Hi all,

I am putting together a small M-ITX gaming build using a Silverstone SG13. Clearly in such a small space cable managment can be an issue, can you recommend and PSU with shorter cables for use with a M-ITX build?

In addition does OCUK sell any shorter, pre braided, aftermarket options? I have had a look at the cable mod stuff on the site but they all seem for much larger form factors, and truth be told I'm not 100% what I am looking for.

Only thing I can think of, Silverstone do a short cable set specifically for use with their PSU's. Otherwise I think most PSU's come with cabling suited for ATX cases. As always, happy to be corrected.

Silverstone does short cable sets for some of their own psu's. They are quite reasonably priced too. If I remember right they were somewhere around £24-25 when OCUK used to sell them.

These might be my best choice, shame they only seem to come in black as I was hoping for red and/or orange to go with my colour scheme.

I have just had a brainwave.

Wouldn't a SFX psu by it's very defination as a small for factor unit have shorter cables than a normal ATX psu? That way you could buy a SFX psu and not have to spend extra on another set of cables.
