I gather from most threads people building computers are going for the 700W+ gaming spec PSU, but does anyone use a low wattage 'silent' PSU or know of a reliable brand/make/model? I'm building a HTPC and have no use for something that could be heard or uses more than 400W max.

Thanks to any that reply.

I would say Corsair CX400W...

But is seems they no longer make them :(. I imagine the 430CX is the replacement and will also be quiet.

Basically I'd look for anything Corsair or Seasonic on here http://www.scan.co.uk/Shop/Computer-Hardware/All/Power-Supplies/60W-460W

Seasonic actually do a fanless 400W PSU, but I can't find it on any sites.

Would highly recommend a Corsair PSU. My HX620w has been silent for the past 2 years :P

The Be Quiet! Pure Power 530W I use in my main rig is silent (well, the brand name gives it away).
If you want to make sure its quiet,
