silent psu

Am after a new psu for a new build. will be running a core2quad 2gb drr 3 hdd's 2 optical drives and 2*3870xt or 880gt's. i'm thinking of about a 600watt although any advice would be great.

also it will be in my bedroom, so i need it be silent or ultra quiete.

Any of the Corsair range

Yeah I think the corsair's would probably be the quietist. Although I think these would probably be pretty quiet too. Slightly dearer than other PSU's though.

Any of the modular Zalman heatpipe ones. I have the 750w version and it is absolutely silent. They get excellent reviews too.

cheers guys. was hoping i could get a cheaper one but i guess you get what you pay for.

Antec's Earthwatts models are quiet as well. But I'd give another vote for Zalman (I have the 500w one).
