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.

Perhaps you could interest me in a loan?
I've been considering a setup with an SSD drive and a scythe ninja II passive
heat sink. If the ninja can cool the processor without recourse to a fan then the only
noise
would come from the PSU fan. I've looked around and found quite a few PSUs with
"silent" in the name yet they seem to refer to values of silent that veer
considerably away from..
well.. silent. Does anyone know of a truly silent PSU or of any hardware mods (say to the
heat sink)
to convert one into a truly fanless (and also non explody) PSU? ... system for audio work?

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.
