i've read that pc power and cooling power supplies are pretty loud (not counting their quiet line)....how loud is yours?
i've had an antec tp 480, now i have an enermax 550, but i'd love to get the 510 deluxe if it isn't really loud.

I don't think it is loud at all. I have worked with antec and many other power supplies and I don't find that it is exceptional among them. The fan is rated for 30 - 44 CFM ball with 34 - 44dB(A) noise levels. Hell, my server, which sits behind me, has a 10k rpm SCSI drive in it that alone makes way more noise than my whole game rig, which is at my knees...

EnerMax 431w powering a:

I'm amazed all lines are still noticable about their rated voltage, even with all those hd's and highpower P4 12v is 12.16v for example.
