As far as my experience go, there are no silent PSU w/fan
available. However, I've just successfully switched the
fan out of a tagan superrock (supposedly the silentest
PSU according to anandtech.com) with a downvolted fan, and
that worked. Lost warranty though, but can't hear it from
outside of the case now.

I would go for either of these, although they cost a bit more.
By mounting a silent 120mm fan running at 5V close to one of
these, they should probably work just fine.
