Advantages:
Black, powerful and quiet.
Disadvantages:
Dimensions higher than expected
Comment:
I bought myself an Inwin BK-series case for an upgrade, these are small and narrow. The standard 300-watt power supply is weak at all - it was not enough for the Core I3-3220 + Radeon 7770. Windows were constantly falling because of power drawdowns on the hard drive. A small surprise happened to the dimensions: the bpshnik is 20 percent longer than ordinary SFX blocks. As a result, I barely pushed this block into this case with the help of brute force, and it did not work to push the hard to the end - it rests on the block. The detachable cable system is nice but impractical. I still had to connect everything, and they eat up more precious space than the sticking out bundle. There are no complaints about the work unit itself, visually - a small masterpiece. Will survive more than one upgrade, I hope.

Advantages:
Great price PLUS GOLD
Disadvantages:
The wires are stiff and thick and take up a lot of space. They say it's noisy under load, haven't tested it.
Comment:
It is very inconvenient to assemble it in a node 202 case due to thick rigid wires and the size of SFX-L. I shoved everything with great difficulty. Next time I would overpay for SFX without L and with normal narrow wires.

Rigid wires
Comment:
For its price in SFX format, just a godsend! The overall build quality is excellent. As for the noise, the first week the fan made a rustling sound, but then it disappeared, apparently the fan rubbed in, it would be nice to lubricate it, but this is a loss of warranty, but after lapping it became inaudible at any load (i7 6700k + gtx 970 + 2 hdd). The wires are really tough, this creates some inconvenience in the htpc case. I was also pleased with the delivery set, along with wires and muculature, they put an adapter bar from sfx to atx. Took it for silverstone rvz 02, fit perfectly
