I'd grab the Seasonic you listed first, personally. The Earthwatts 500D would be my second choice.

I agree, the Seasonic model is probably more quiet than the Antec Earthwatts as well.

Here's a quiet Cooler Master with excellent reviews in your price range, specifically including good reviews by Johnny Guru and SilentPC:

I was going to buy this todday, but I decided to splurge on a Seasonic X-650 instead.
