hi
i just read the first post by computerpro3 in the thread " Before Making a Thread About Buying a PSU....", trying to decide which *silent* PSU to get. i've narrowed it down to 4(those which are available here in germany) but i don't see the difference between them. here they are:

Zalman ZM400A-APF 400W ATX (72€)
Zalman ZM400B-APF 400W ATX (85€)
Zalman ZM400B-APS 400W ATX (65€)
Seasonic S12-430 430W ATX 2.0 (72€)

also, some of them seem to have serial-ata cables, some don't. i don't have serial-ata discs right now but i might get some. if i should get a PSU that doesn't have those, can is still connect my serial ata discs with some sort of adapter?
my system has an AthlonXp 2600+, 2 harddiscs and a GeForce 6800...so i need 400W+, no?
if you can recommend any *good* silent PSU not on my list, please do so..
 
What are your complete specifications? More specificially, what motherboard will you be running?
 
my system:
msi nforce 2 ultra
athlon xp 2600+
768mb ram kingston hyperx
80gig seagate, 40 gig ibm(don't know exact names)
leadtek 6800 vanilla
1 dvd, 1 cd drive

Negative... relative to other things in your machine, perhaps, but otherwise they're not known for silence. Topowers are quiet, just not the quietest things out there.

Well, the loudest thing in my rig is the HSF and it's got a low speed Panaflo which barely makes any audible noise, so silent by comparison, yea.
 
I'm going to assume that motherboard has the extra 4-pin 12v connector, since i checked each of msi's nf2 boards.

AMS Mercury 460W

Silent and quality.
