A quiet one?

My old 430W Cooler Master is beginning to buckle under the strain of a highly overclocked Opteron 170, and I'm getting annoyed with having cables everywhere. My DDC pump doesn't always start, either. So I'd like a new power supply.

Please could someone recommend me one that's

cheap
VERY quiet or silent
low wattage (450 is fine)
solid performer
preferably modular?

Thanks!
 
Great, thanks. Is it like properly silent, or 'quite quiet' like Akasa Amber fans are?

Don't know about the Akasa Amber fan, I have never been close to those, but I can tell you that I have the 620 version of the Corsair PSU in my computer, and I have never heard it so far. Also SPCR have it on top of their "recommended" PSU list over 400 watts
( http://www.silentpcreview.com/article699-page1.html ) so it's about as quiet as they come I guess.
 
I never have looked, but I wonder if my HX520 fan is even running. ;)

I have 4 fans (one in the HX520, and 3 Yate Loon 120mm), and 3 hard drives... and could not imagine my PC being any quieter. I hear the hard drives over the fans, and that's only the light chucking during seeks. My ceiling fan on low is louder than the PC.

Quiet is a wonderful thing, and the HX520 did not disappoint.
