Also, Thanks to everyone who posted info on this subject. I didn't reply because my email client (I assume) has taken to eating duplicate posts (when anyone CCd an additional reply to me, only got the direct email, not the list message) I found a review for the unit that Esben linked to: product page: http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/product/power/purepower/w0029/w0029.asp review: http://www.silentpcreview.com/article185-page1.html but it didn't fare to well. The review suggested a rated output of 300W (vs 350W claimed) was more realistic and that at high loads, the electronics themselves generated considerable noise. From there I followed links to a review of another silverstone PSU which garnered a more favorable review but that was rated at 300W. So, Fernando's links detail the best options I have seen yet. The silverstone nightjar ST45NF 450W in particular should be fine for a contemporary audio system, provided you don't need contemporary graphics too. (and luckily, I don't) pete.
