Silent Micro PSU? (HTPC potentially pico)

[Percy1983]

My HTPC is currently in antec micro fusion case using the PSU which comes with the case, which is a 350watt micro psu (none standard size as far as I can see).

Now I have put much work in making the PC silent and have managed it to now find the constant whirl of the PSU fan is all which is left.

I have been looking at PICO PSUs but not sure if suitable.

System Specs:
AMD A8-7600
Gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-HD3 board
8gb 2133mhz ram
64gb Crucial M4 boot
2TB seagate 5900k drive
Blu-ray/HD-DVD drive
Creative x-fi sound card
Black gold TV tuner card x2 DVB-T2
Black gold TV tuner card x2 DVB-T2 + x2 DVB-S2 (uses PCI-E power connector)
3x 80mm fans
The case also uses an ODD display.

Looking at picos there are some which are more boards with connectors which of course I would have room for and some do push 250w which I am guessing is enough.

If anybody could hazard a guess what my usage would be any suitable silent small PSU will do to be honest.

Any ideas/advice would help.

Thanks

I think a pico PSU would struggle, and at high outputs the mfr recommends some forced air cooling across the heat sinks any way. You might be better off with a small form factor PSU like those from Silverstone. I use one in a home server.

Using an image search for Antec Micro Fusion reveals what looks to me like a TFX PSU. Does it match the dimensions given here?

Review for the NSK1480, which supposedly is the Micro Fusion with a different name:
http://www.silentpcreview.com/Antec-NSK1480

The author states on -page7 that the PSU is proprietary.

In addition, the power supply itself is proprietary...

The reviewer, also on page 7, describes a mod he undertook to make the PSU more quiet.

That is the same without the front LCD display.

The mod makes sense and looks perfect, its just finding a good fan now.

Thanks for the input everybody.
