Enermax Offers 1200W PSU with 160mm in length
Enermax released a relatively small 16cm ATX Form factor PSU that pack some punch at 1200 Watt. The Platimax D.F. 1200W/1050W/850W/750W. The new lineup is 80 PLUS Platinum certified power supply with fully modular cable design.
In addition to the DFR self-cleaning technology, new Platimax D.F. incorporates a D.F. switch for users to manually activate the self-cleaning function anytime during operation. Moreover, the series features smart semi-fanless control which ensures absolute quiet operation at lower loads. With rock-solid stability and superior performance, Platimax D.F. is without doubt a perfect solution for high-resolution gaming rigs or multi-GPU systems.
Built with high-density PCB design, Platimax D.F. supports Max. 1200W with only 160mm in depth gives enthusiasts greater flexibility in case selection. Current power supplies over 1000W on the market are generally larger, many of them measuring 180mm to 225mm in depth. The larger dimensions necessitate a PC case with a lot of interior space, which decreases a builder's freedom in selecting a chassis. Platimax D.F. 1200W is the smallest of its kind.
DFR Tech. & Unique D.F. switch Design
A standard PSU fan would cause dust build up on intake and fan blades. ENERMAX DFR Tech. is able to make the PSU fan spin in reverse to reduce accumulated dust. With D.F. switch design, users can activate DFR Tech. to blow away dust at any time during operation, even in the normal operation.
Smart Semi-fanless Control for Quieter Cooling Performance
Platimax D.F. is engineered with fanless mode before 30%~40% of system load for silent operation. On the other hand, when system load exceeds 30%~40%, the fan starts to spin and the fan speed is automatically regulated according to the system load.
Warranty and Availability
Platimax D.F. 850W-1200W will come with 5 years global warranty and additional 5 years warranty for US and Canada only. It is the first 10 years warranty product by LEPATEK Corporation.
MSRP: USD $269.99.

Interesting to see a higher capacity PSU in a small form factor, thought the components took up a fair bit of space although I haven't really kept up with development so perhaps it's possible to shrink things down a bit for these parts too even if it's probably to a lesser degree.
Large fan probably helps keeping heat and such down too, as long as dust buildup isn't too problematic I guess since disassembling a PSU can be a real pain depending on how it was secured.
(EDIT: Though I guess the image already shows it's not too problematic in that regard, easily visible screws and no weird format for them either.)
EDIT: Although I suppose you wouldn't normally need a full 1.2kw of power for most current rigs, 1080 or Vega GPU's in SLI perhaps might get close to breaking the kilowatt threshold?
(Although a few years down the line if efficiency is starting to be affected it'll still hold up nicely, heh.)
EDIT: Ah but it only has 3x 8-pin PCIE connectors? That could be rough for even two-card SLI (Or Crossfire, just call it multi-GPU ha ha.) depending on the design of said GPU.
(And some motherboards also allow for a optional cable for PCIE power unless that's no longer needed on the newest boards, things change in just a few short years.)
This looks like something good for a server build. Dual CPU connections and 10 pin as well for them damn HP boards lol. Even my 1000w has 4 PCIe 8 pins.
