Antec TRUE380 or SL350S

[dheffer]

Simple quick question if anyone knows

Which is quieter,

the true380 with 1 92mm fan and 1 80mm fan which is said to be a pretty quiet PS that I'm pretty happy with now

OR

the SL350S with 1 80mm fan that comes with the 3700BQE, which is suppose to be the "silent" edition

BTW: anyone mod their true380? which fans did you use, and where did you buy them?

also, where does everyone buy their fans at? cheapest place?

thanks!

Also, can a 120mm x 35mm fit in the rear?
I know it cant in the front for obvious reasons, but why not the back?
Thanks!

I have no good info regarding which is quieter but I do know the True series is built to a higher durability standard: MTBF of 80,000 hrs. vs. 50,000 hrs. This tips the scale to the True family in my opinion regardless of the noise. And speaking of noise, all the Antec PS's are on the low side anyway.

Good luck.

I modded my true389S (The one with one fan that comes with Sonatas) with a panaflo m1a. The fan that came with it made an annoying clicking sound.

I'm not sure where I bought the fan from, but I got the powersupply from directron. SVC is supposed to be pretty good with fans, but I had them send me the wrong kind once and it was a hastle getting my money back.
