Can anyone assure me the CPU power cable on the Enermax Revolution 1050w will be long enough to go out through the back of my case and back in? I have to mount the PSU on the bottom, otherwise this wouldn't be a problem. My PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750w fails to do this. Otherwise, does the Corsair 1000hx have long cables?

Need PSU with long cables. (Maybe Enermax Revolution?)

The Silencer 750W has a 23" (584MM) long CPU power cable. That's pretty long.
500~550MM is the norm.
The Revolution cables are actually only 500MM. A Corsair HX1000 has a little longer cables at 550MM.
Your best bet may be a PSU that has two CPU connectors on the same cable. Like one 8-pin @ 500MM and then a 4-pin at +150MM. But this only works if your board will run with only whatever the connector is at the end of the chain.
You're going outside of your case and then back in? Why not go under the motherboard? Or just lay the cable down along the back of the motherboard and have your expansion cards hold it down against the board?

Are you sure the Silencer has longer cables?
I found an image here:

This is what I need, for the CPU cable to get routed that way. I couldn't do that with my Silencer.

This solves the question about the Corsair 1000hx with my case I guess. It's CPU cable is 24" long (60 cm). But then according to you it's only 1.5cm less than my PSU. Something's wrong here, 1.5cm shouldn't be that much of a difference.

What I want to avoid lol. No poing in having a windowed case if it's going to be this ugly.
Edit -
Damn, I'm confused. According to this review the Silencer also has a 24" long CPU cable. Then how come in the image above the Corsair 1000hx cable is more than long enough, but in my case the Silencer one is not?

I was going by what PCP&C say on their website... and you found a review that shows them 1" longer still.
I found that perhaps one model of FSP PSU can fulfill your requirement. It's model name is FSP750-80GLN. The length of CPU power cable is 880mm. It should fulfill your requirement.
