You can mount lengthy enough power supplies in the chassis, so that won't be an issue, 210mm is how long they may be. The PSU will sit on four rubber pads, to ensure that no vibrations/noise passes on to the Pure Base 600's frame.

The PSU shroud hides the power supply unit, a double HDD cage, and cables. The perforated top lets air through, and the front of the PSU shroud has a cutout for longer radiators.

 As you can see, there is enough space for a regular ATX size PSU, however, you always need to calculate in the wiring leading out of the PSU. Here it is okay, but not great. Sized 258 / 225 (depending on the position of the (removable) HDD cage).

The feet are rubberized giving more grip to the surface and again preventing resonating noises escaping from the PC. There is also a removable dust filter located at the base (PSU fan location).

Here we have removed the backside panel, grommet holes for cable management, as stated not rubberized. You can see a nice and big CPU motherboard cut-out and the SSD mounts reveal themselves. We love velcro cable ties btw.

You get an inch, roughly 2.5cm clearance at the backside for your wiring, that is a decent amount to work with, no complaints here.
