New PSU for Media PC
 

I have a busted PSU in my media center that needs replacement.
It's an AMD sempron AM2, 1 IDE hard drive, 1 IDE CD rom, onboard video, and I'm planning to add a TV card. I was using a 350W Aopen PSU, no nothing powerfull is needed. No need for PCI-e connectors, SATA is nice but not for the moment.

I was looking around, and found the following options at the same price:
PC Power & Cooling Silencer 370W
OCZ StealthXstream 400W
Corsair CMPSU-400CX
Zalman ZM360B-APS

Wich would I choose, sound being the largest issue, quality next.
Or are there any other I might concider, that are available in or around Antwerp ;)

Maybe this coolermaster modular PSU mate, to avoid cable clutter in ya small case

It's a standard microtower, so I don't need modular, more than enough space to put extra cables. I might as well save me the extra €20

any cheap budget PSU will do then for ya.. I just prefer a brand with a good reputation (Corsair, enermax,...) and preferably 3years or more warranty... as I never know in which rig the PSU will end up... I like to have good amps on the 12 volt rails and decent build quality... might be funny but if a PSU already feels heavy that's a good sign as the cheapos are light as a feather

I'd like some quality, so I'm still doubting between these two
OCZ StealthXstream 400W
Corsair CMPSU-400CX

OCZ has a bigger fan, 140mm. But corsair are said to be more quiet.

Well i don't think they will spin up much as your pc doesn't require ooomphs of power... I 've build several xstreams from the 500 and 600w model and to me they were very silent too... think the GFX fan was the loudest part

No GFX fan, no CPU fan.
Only a 120mm casefan (7V) + duct over CPU
and the PSU fan

Well the included 350W aopen did a good job, if I forced it to 7V operation. So a decent PSU should do the job just fine.

I'll probably go for the OCZ. Corsair advertising "extra long cables" on their website kinda did it for me, as I don't need those :p (most towers don't anyway)

I got a Silencer 400W refurbished from PCPower&Coling 6-years ago and gave it away two years ago it's still running a friend's PC and remains VERY silent.

I would go with PCPower&Cooling, I consider them the most stable, best service and best over all build quality.

I agree. I have a Corsair 620 W and it's very quiet.
