Ok.. I may need a quiet PSU for a next built. I need something between 400w and 500w. will be powering a X2 3800+. no big gaming machine.

It MUST be quiet. No need for fancy grill or UV. but would likea fan at the opposite side from the back, not underneath.

I now have a thermaltake TR2 430w performing admirably quiet. But I'm not sure if it would have enough 12V amps if I decide to get a bigger video card.

Any idea? And I want something that wont cost lot of $$$

Any branded PSU with a single 120mm fan will do.
In fact I complain those PSU moving too less air and not cooling my system well enough.
