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.
Perhaps I missed something here but aren't the above units fanless by
design? why add a fan?
Contrary to the fans included with PSUs, the fans you can
buy separately can be silent, especially when downvolted
to 5V. So to ensure you don't
overheat a fanless PSU, which can happen if it's too hot,
it could be a good idea to mount a fan close to the PSU.
That was a bit unclear. If I've understood correctly,
fanless PSU's turns off if they run too hot, that's
why you might want to add a little bit of air flow
through it, especially if you run a hot CPU, etc. and
have no case fan.
