Streacom unveiled a rather interesting power supply unit at its Computex 2023 showcase, the 800 W ZS800. While it might look a bit strange, Streacom's reasons behind such a product makes sense, considering it started as a project to create a "better" power supply for SFF builds, leading to what you can see in these pictures below.

According to Streacom, the biggest improvement to be done were on the cables, namely the 24-pin ATX cable which is bulky and quite difficult to handle, especially in tight SFF cases. The breakthrough came with the announcement of Intel's ATX12VO specification (12 V-only) and since Streacom has experience with compact DC to DC ATX converters, this led to reduced number of pins for the 24-pin cable, at least on the PSU side, as it still needs a 24-pin adapter for the motherboard. Such a hybrid solution also means that the ZS800 is actually both ATX 3.0 and ATX12VO compatible.In terms of dimensions, the ZS800 preliminary specifications put it at 125x63.5x125 mm, and although it might sound larger than the SFX PSU standard of 125x63.5x100mm, those do not include cables and connectors. That is where Streacom actually saves some space, reducing the depth by rotating those connectors 90 degrees and keeping the full depth at 125 mm. This also allowed Streacom to use a 120 mm fan, which will also be user replaceable, allowing users to pick out any 120 mm fan that match their system. The ZS800 has 92+ efficiency which is equivalent to an 80 Plus Platinum rating, includes one 12VHPWR connector, and one 8-pin AUX connector, as well as a USB connection for advanced settings.Unfortunately, there is no word on when the ZS800 could become available.
