Get any psu and replace the fans with whatever you like. I prefer panaflos, some models are more noisy than others.

i'm a bit scared of opening up a power supply... what safty measure would i take if i opened it up to replace the fans?

I wouldnt recommend opening up a PSU just yet if your not comfortable with it, try one of the recommended silent PSU's first, they should be great for a low noise PC setup.

also keep in mind if you open a power supply you void the warrant.

Powersupplies aren't too dangerous when you're actually in there (as long as the power isn't connected, at the time but I hope you're not that stupid). Just be careful of the capacitors when you're in there.

The other danger is involved in after you put it back together and power up for the first time. If you fuck with something, you may be in for a big surprise. So basically, just don't touch anything you're not sure about
