Fanless Power Supply?

Does anyone know of any fanless PSU's that run at around 300-350watt? I know Voodoo PC has a new computer that uses a fanless PSU but I'm not sure if there are any OEMs Fanless PSUs on the market?
 
There are, such as this one. DIY is not an easy undertaking, but it has been done. Personally, I'd go with a PSU with a 120mm fan in it instead, like a Fortron. I have the 300w version of that PSU and it makes my 80mm L1a sound loud! :Q
 
I tried the Fortron that won the Anandtech roundup, but at full load the thing was much louder than the Enermax I have right now.

I'm sure the SilentMaxx would do the trick but $235 for a PSU is way too much.
 
Really? That really says something for the Enermax then. Did you use the 350w model? Perhaps the 350 is louder than the 300. The 300 is very, very quiet.
 
The Fortron is kinda loud at full bore, but mine has kicked the fan up exactly twice in two months of operation! The first time it happened, I had to crawl under my desk and check it out, as I had no clue where the noise was coming from!

This PS is amazingly quiet 95% of the time, and I consider it one of the best bargains you can find for a PS.
 
There are some fanless psu's but look here for very, very quiet fans. I think you'll find what your looking for. I have the seasonic 300 and it is the quietest component on my box!

Mine is practically dead silent with the fan turned all the way down. Great PSU for the money.
