Please help me pick a power supply replacement

[volcs0]

I am converting this desktop into a media center PC. I've already tested it, and it works perfectly - decodes full 1080p - even streams a full Blu-ray rip.

Below are the specs on the PC. It is currently in a mini-tower case. I am planning on getting an HTPC case, something like this one, which I think will work (let me know if it won't):

The current PSU is very, very loud. I'd like to put something quiet in there when I make the move to the new case.

Thanks for the advice. Choosing a PSU always confuses me - too many different options, sizes, connectors, etc.

The ATI Radeon™ HD 4300 Series System Requirements: 300 Watt or greater power supply.

The case can fit a standard ATX power supply. The PSU choice can be confusing. I only recommend name brands, something I'd use in my pc. The question are what is your budget & where do you shop? I'll give you something to start with:

EarthWatts wins hands down in quality dept. You can't get it brand new at that price without shipping anywhere else. However, Sparkle has a 120mm thermal-controlled fan. Gen-speak, the bigger the fan, the quieter is.

Thanks. This is very helpful. I was hoping to spend $25-$50.

My concerns were: (1) enough power, (2) quiet, (3) fits

You addressed #1 and #3, and the reviews support #2.

Thanks for the help.

Anytime.
