Suggestions for quite HTPC Power Supply (1 Viewer)

[geichel]

Hallo,
I am searching for a quite power supply for my HTPC configuration:
Mainboard: MSI K9N Neo-F V2 or GA-MA78GM-S2H
CPU: Athlon X2 4850e
Cooler: Scythe Shuriken or Noctua NH-U 9B
Case: Chieftec HM-01B
Soundcard: Terratec Aureon 7.1 Universe
Grafikcard: ATI Radeon HD 3450
HDD: 500 GB
Optical drive: LG DVD Burner

I am not sure if I should take a fanless power supply unit or just one with a quite 120 mm fan inside.
So any advise or power supply model suggestion for a quite HTPC power supply would be helpful for me
Regards,
Gerrit

Hi geichel

I used the Corsair HX520 HTPC_PSU/CorsairHX520 - MediaPortal Manual Documentation when I built my HTPC in April 2007.

It is modular (which is good as it reduces the cables in the HTPC so helps airflow) and it is quiet. I have no complaints with it. If you were to choose Corsair it looks like they do various rated power supplies.
