I love my Antec true power 430. I had an Enermax 330 and the Antec just blows it away with how quiet and stable it is.

I have one and like it, but it is louder than I would like.

It could be my video card fan though.... I can't distinguish what is making the noise yet.

I would tell you to unplug the psu to see if it is the video card making the noise, but after a moment of thinking, well, duh. Just take out the video card and see if the system is quieter. Of course you may have trouble using the system w/ out video. You may have trouble hearing anyway over the computer's "NO VIDEO CARD FOUND" beeping. I am sure you'll figure it out. ;)

My Antec 430 is on its way...should be here today. Never thought I'd get this excited about a PS.

And I just spent 200 bones on a PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool 475 :(. Oh well, I'm still happy.

Front panel manual fine control over the +12, +5 and+3.3 voltage lines

The three holes above the knobs are variable trim pots for fine tuning the +12, +5 and +3.3V lines. They are recessed so they can't be casually or accidentally changed.
Very sweet!!.... :D One has my name on it when available. ;)
