Best Silent 500W+ PSU out there?

[Raider]

So far i'm looking at these 2 options for the best silent power supply:

Nesteq Semi-Fanless ASM PSU, 520W (around £115)
Seasonic S12 500W Silent ATX2.0 Power Supply (around £85)

Any opinions? Ta

Seasonic without a doubt.

Ive just bout one for my new build. I had a FSP before which claimed it was silent... and it was the loudest thing in my case!

The Seasonic is amazingly quiet. It says its less than 22db on the box, but its much quieter than that. I'd say less than 18Db.

The only thing I didnt really like with it was the twisted cables. I would have prefered them to be sleved.

I find that the peripheral connectors with the Seasonics (well my 430w anyway) are pretty short - something to take into consideration if you have a big case...
