rikytik is an unknown quantity at this point
Think quiet. I have had some really noisy PSU's. Worst was a Sparkle. Now in my Antec Sonata I have a 380 watt Antec PSU, Quiet, nice. It is running 2-SATA drives, 2 IDE drives and 1 DVD burner + 1 CD burner. Plus the Audigy2 card and an ATI 9600 AIW. The ASUS probe software monitor shows good maintenance of voltages and the mobo temp has never gone up over the idle temp.

I gave away the 500 PSU I had in my other machine. It sounded like a Mac truck going over the Rocky Mountains. I replaced it with an Enermax 365 watt PSU. It runs a mobo with a 2100+ AMD, 2 HD's and 2 burners, one DVD, one CD. No trouble there either with voltage regualtion, according to the sofware Probe.
