How about this one? http://www.zalman.co.kr/english/product/zm400a-apf.htm

I'm looking for a quiet PS, minimum 400 watts. I'm going to buy a new case, power supply, and I'm looking into a water cooling system.

I currently have a 430W Enermax power supply that seems to be excessively noisy to me.

Any suggestions? Having a solid PS is more important to me than the noise level... but quiet would be better!

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Fortron has a power supply labled "350W" but it peaks at around 420W (most other brands are rated at peak, Fortron at max continuous load). The advantage is that is uses a 120mm "smart" fan, which can operate at lower RPM while providing adequate cooling. These only cost $36 at Newegg.
