Default Quiet PSU?
What is the quietest psu I can buy thats atleast 450W. I am planning on building a Windows Home Server and I want to make sure I have enough head room for up to six hard drives.

Quietest? The new Enermax Modu82+ and Pro82+ (the latter being identical just non-modular) received very high marks from SPCR, which is some of the best praise you can get for a quiet unit. They're rather pricey though.

Good lord, those are some expensive PSU's. The best question would be are they worth the extra money because I do see they have a Efficiency 80+ Bronze marking which is better then the regular Efficiency 80+ marking.

Well to state what I'm looking for better whats the best bang for my buck PSU thats as quiet as possible I'm willing to pay a little extra but $100+ is a bit overboard.

Corsair's units are pretty damn quiet and not as expensive as the new Enermax units, I'd be looking at one of them.

The higher efficiency doesn't really matter to most people. Let's say these PSUs are 3% more efficient and your 24/7 server consumes like 100w averaged. That's 3w saved. Therefore, you save about 2kw*hr a month... or about $.25. You save $3 a year.
