Hello fellow there. While I got sick and tired of the loudness of my current power supply, I decided that I'd buy a totally new case with power supply. I Only look for silence this time.

While I'm not very experienced with power supplies or cases, I decided to ask this quite professional looking forum, wether my choice is good or not. I find it quite perfect for my needs myself.

What I had in mind was Nexus Breeze case with the 350 Watt power source.

Here's some info (reliable? naah, but info anyway) :http://www.nexustek.nl/breeze.htm

And here's a review of the power supply: http://www.silentpcreview.com/article131-page1.html

Seems silent, seems good to me. What do you think?
 
12V@16A? Pretty weak in my opinion. But if your not doing anything really intense on your computer, I guess it wouldn't matter as much.
 
Alright, so do you think it would be able to run my
2800 sempron,
radeon 9600,
7200 rpm hitachi 160gb and 30 gb maxtor,
2 x 512 MB 400 DDR,
Abit NF7-S2G,
NEC 2510 dvd burner?

Mostly I game with it, so it needs to be sufficent.

If not, do you have any clues for alternative products? I wouldn't want to spend more than 100€, so even my last choice goes over that (126€). Sure if it's good enough, I JUST might spend a couple of extra euros.

EDIT: I just checked out the 400W version of the same PSU. It seems to be as silent as the 350W one, but a bit more powerful (and expensive, of course). Now this whole shit would cost me 150€, which is damn much, but I'm ready to afford it if you think it's good. Also, I won't buy the more expensive PSU, if you think that the less powerful is enough. Thanks in advance.

one thing you could do is buy the case and the PSU seperately. this way you can buy a less expensive case, and buy a better, more reliable silent psu
 
Thanks all of you. I think I learned a thing or two here.

Unfortunately, I got into some financial troubles, and ran out of cash, so I had to mod my current PSU. I replaced the two fans with my own ones, and now it's running pretty silent.

EDIT: Now my maxtor is making up most of the noise. My fans are as silent as Hitman 47 :)

The maxtor doesn't really matter though. It's going to break up soon anyway.
