I just moved from the US to Europe and forgot to flip the little voltage switch to 240 on my Antec Truepower. So after a loud pang I now need a new PSU.
The PSU has to be very quiet since I will use this PC for making music, so what so you recommend? I am willing to pay what it takes to make this PC silent.

BTW, all components in the PC still works even though it blew the PSU and the Fuse in my apartment.

Hope more components are not fried.

No, fortunatly no other components were fried. I have been running tests with another supply for days and it seemed fine.

Sure made me jump though when the sparks were flying in the dark :O
