I'm considering buying an Antec TruePower II 430 but am VERY concerned about noise levels. How quiet are these things? Can you hear the fan run outside of the case or do you have to put your ear right up next to it to hear anything? Is there any static/electronic noise and/or humming coming from the PSU? Thanks!

You can hear the fan run, but not quite as loudly as you would from an old-school PSU with two smaller fans.

I can hear the fan running when it's just next to my desk, however slightly.

Unfortunately, I cannot help you with that. I don't pay attention to the electronic noise from my PSUs.
