Quiet Power Supply??

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.hardware.homebuilt (More info?)

I'm building a socket A system from left over parts, and need a power supply.
Anyone suggest a unit that is known for being quiet?

I'd pay a little extra for one that doesn't sound like a vaccuum cleaner.
Anyone have any experience? Thanks.

Hi,

"Quiet" isn't a lot to go on.
How many watts you need?

Since you're using "left over parts" I'll assume a basic, typical
secondary system, not using a high-end video card or a half dozen hard
drives, etc, so you should be ok with a name-brand 300W. Good value in a
quiet name-brand 300-350W would be a Sparkle/Fortron FSP300-60PN,
FSP350-60PN (w/ low RPM 12cm fan on the bottom).
