Needed: Super Duper Quiet PSU

[mccrack]

So the constant humming of my current no name brand PSU is annoying me too shreds, dont need more than 300 -> 350 watts. Just needs to be really really quiet.

Any suggestions?

How about completely noiseless?

i just bought the Coolermaster RS-CM450W which is supposed to be silent (<20dBA). Another brand I looked at was Thermaltake Silent PurePower. They are recommended for HTPC's by HomeTheatrePC. Note that their prices do not include VAT!!! They only show you the full price after you enter your credit card details in.

Take2 also stock them.

Looks gr8, but I imagine that the Antec Phantom which is "uniquely quiet" comes @ a uniquely high price

EDIT: R1300 for the Antec Phantom ... ouch ....

Antec Phantom350 350w PSU
R 1,399.11

Antec Phantom500 500w PSU
R 1,848.00

Quite a lot but for being completely silent I would actually consider it.

Water will cut down noise by half-ish by taking the HSF out of the equation.

Ta forumites,

Now the peeps in my head need to debate the cost and viability

Apparently the Vantec Ion2 350W, is like 20dB - 21dB, ..which is a whisper, ..around R380 I understand.. Person?
