From Enermax, Read review here + $10CDN discount, without the discount it's CDN$209 or approx. $135

I think it's a good deal considering most 300w PS comes at this price.

<edit>

Just a few noteable features:

-Enermax power supplies features clear plastic fans which allows you to actually see the high quality bearings. A lot of other power supplies use shoddier sleeve type bearing fans that fail and seize much sooner.

-High quality chrome fan grills are used to improve airflow much better than the normal &quot;punched out&quot; air notches on other power supplies.

-Thermally controlled &quot;Super Noise Killer&quot; feature which increases and decreases the fan speed based on the operating temperatures.

-Motherboard fan monitoring header for use with programs such as Motherboard Monitor to keep tabs on power supply fan speed.

-Dual fans (high quality dual ball bearing 92mm intake and 80mm exhaust fans)

-Plenty of power leads: Eight four pin Molex connectors and one FDD connector

-Power leads are 1 meter (30&quot;) in length to accommodate almost any type of case.

-External ON/OFF switch &amp; Toggle b/w 115v and 230v.

-Exceeds Intel and AMD requirements.

-Long life. Estimated 100,000 MTBF based on 70% constant load.

-Meets Intel v2.01 &amp; v2.03 ATX form factor.

Man. These things must be loud. I have a Fortron 350watt and it's pretty loud. The low hum and the air gushing out the back. Bought it because it says silent series. Can't imagine how this thing will sound.

Well, the main fan isn't all that much different from most PS fans so noise should be the same. Then again this thing also has the &quot;turn-on-only-when-needed&quot; feature so it may be noisy and it may be not... just depends i guess.

i'm not really sure what to make of the review but if they're truthful to their word then this thing won't be as noisy as your average PS.

By the way if you really want a quiet (VERY) PS, go to www.quietpc.com. I just installed one of these PS' in a friend's computer and by George if this isn't what you call quiet i don't know what is!
