seeking quiet desktop power supply

Got a new black desktop case from aria at the weekend - which has a
very noisy psu (in fact it should have come with a 350 watt job but a
300 watt was supplied by mistake). Problem is that it's a non-standard
atx size so I cannot just swap out for a truepower.

Anyone know a source for a replacement, ideally one that take air out
of the case not blows it in as this one does, but which must be pretty
quiet


Cheers

I`ve never known a PSU blow air INTO the case !

It does - weird or what - obviously the same make as the people who
do the ebuyer case - the only good news is that the two 60mm
extraction fans are immediately next to when the hot air comes in, so
venting it out again won't be too much of a problem

take the psu out and turn the fan around - simple job

It was an alteration to the AT spec early in the days of ATX I believe. It
was later revised for the obvious reasons of the PSU contributing hot air
to the case. Simply turn the PSU fan around, the air will still come out
the vents (the PSU fan is built into the 'roof' of the PSU I assume?)

If its much too loud, check out http://www.pcpowerandcooling.com and their
power supply selector. Should help you figure out which one to look for
since their prices to the UK leave something to be desired ;-)
