| Antec Phantom 350W Passive PSU Review We first heard about Antec's fanless power supply almost a year ago. At the Las Vegas CES in January, Antec showed an early pre-production version of the Phantom, but it remained out of sight through the year, staying true to its moniker. A week or two ago, just after a production sample showed up at the SPCR lab, Antec finally released the Phantom 350. It is now featured on their web site. Antec representatives were eager to see a quick SPCR review; I've tried my best to be thorough in the short time I have had with this unit.

A quiet room is a room with sound insulation and special air in/out let. In order to measure 23dBA, equipment must be inside a sound room, and not an office. There is just too much bullsh_t on this to get money from people. If they are going to report dBA, they'd better show the equipment and environment the measurement is taken. http://www.mine-safety.mtu.edu/noise/03noise_basics.htm http://home.tir.com/~ms/noisecontrol/noisecontrol.html http://www.campanellaacoustics.com/teleconf.htm Unless you are a very "special" person living in a very "special house" or working in a very special "office". 35 dBA will be the min. saturation you are living in. The question is : Would you care for a song that you could not hear? However, I have to give credit to the better than 80% efficiency factor. In this case, the quest for silence is forcing the manufactuerer to put in quality components; by the same token using a sub-35 dBA fan would yield better result.
