Silent modular PSU, Any recommendations

As title really,

I have a silent thermaltake purepower PSU at the minute which is fine apart from the fact that space will be limited in my new HTPC case, the cables on the purepower are thick and pretty inflexible so a modular one would be handy to cut down on the amount of space they took up

I would guess 500w would be enough as nothing in the HTPC is power hungry

Corsair 520W (I have this in my HTPC and the 620W in my main PC!), great PSU silent as a silent thing on silent day and lots of cables all modular.

Corsair has good reviews, I went for an Enermax Liberty 500W and swapped the fan for a Scythe 1200RPM...., will give the corsair a run for it's money...

PSU's are not made silent, that you have to do for yourself...

As the reviews say go for the Corsair, should be silent enough for you if your coming from a thermaltake...
