quiet server style power supply

[herm0016]

power cord on the back, switch on the front and pulling out side air in. do they exist? i am slowly getting annoyed at the enlight hot sawp power supplies little, very noisy fans. i already replaced the 80 with a panaflo and a controller to slow it down a bit. the little 40ish mm fan on the unit is really loud and rattles a bit . I think it is normal atx sized. i could get a good atx one and switch the fans around and re-wire the power but if i can get one with out all that work it would be great. thanks.

edit: currently is a 300watt. with a amd 4000+, 2 western dig. HD, ati x800, single dvd drive, 3 fans.

The key word being server style...as we speak there are NO quiet server style PSU`s on the market.

Even the newest Zippy offering is hardly quiet and thats not geared towards the server market!!
Of course we know PC Power and Cooling is hardly quiet !!

What I would do is get a high quality Seasonic PSU that has been reviewed as being quiet and go from there...or possibly a Corsair...or possibly a PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750...but even that is not quiet by those who value absolute noise free quiet!!

Peace!!
