psu recommendation please

[Leland]

Hi,

I'm going to get the jet-black version of the sx1030 from directron sometime soon. Of course, it comes without a psu, fans and everything else.

I was thinking of getting this psu from the hot deals forum. The comments seem decent.

More than anything, I want something really quiet. Does anyone have any recommendations or comments? Since I'm ordering from directron, buying something from them would help out on shipping. Any opinions on their wares? I'm specifically trying to see if the sub-$50 ones (300w enermax and silenttt) will be quiet or whether it's worth it to spend a few more bucks.

Thanks.

from what i've read in the hot forums thread, the highpower psu seems pretty good. but for a really quiet psu, i'd suggest the enermax whisper series psu's. but of course, the reason why they're quiet is that the exhaust fan doesn't spin that quickly, and it doesn't cool that well. i heard antec psu's are quiet also (the one fan versions). i have antec 350w which has dual-fans, and it's louder than i would like.
