Quietist Power Supplier and CPU Fan (not water cooled)

[Goumet]

I'm about to purchase a Silvertek case to build a media centre PC.

I want it be as quiet as possible, so I will need the quietest PSU and CPU Fan i can afford.

I will be using a celeon D processor (to begin with).

What does everyone suggest?

What are the rest of the specs, what do you plan on upgrading to and what is your budget?

Not aiming on putting too much in for a while, after all its a media PC.

So:-

ASUS P800 E Deluxe Motherboard
Celeron D Processor
6600GT Graphics Card.
2 x Maxtrox 250GB SATA Disks (Raid 0)
Haupage MCE 500 Tuner
2 x DVD/RW Drives (probably light scribe)

Can't see what else I would need. But please feel free to suggest.

I dont know how big the case is so I was kind of limited cooler wise, you will want the graphics cooler unless it is the silent gigabyte card and the PSU is very high quality/quiet.

I guess you mean maxtor drives, if you have them already you mgiht want to invest in some rubber grommets or enclosures as they are loud.

Antec neo HE, I have one in my pc and cant hear it above a 5v akasa amber. It is pretty much silent (and i dont take that word lightly!)
