A dinky 80mm fan and poorly-ventilated grills? One look and you know that thing is not designed to take quietness into consideration.

So you don't have any experience with it then?
It sounds like your comment is just based on looks.

Buy it. It's your money.

I'm not the one who will have to listen to it all day.

With just one 80mm fan I wouldn't expect it to be very quiet either, but Zippy (uses Fortron, as does PCP&C's TurboCool line) offers top-notch PSUs.

If you're looking for something quiet, try a Seasonic.
