About LinkBacksI have a 250W PSU. Good quality and temperature controlled.
However, I want to make it completely silent.
I really don't want any fans in it at all.
Any ideas?

Rather than no fans at all, get some silent fans in there and undervolt them. It will be as good as silent and will keep a bit of airflow going.
I'm not a fan of changing fans in PSUs. The ratings they give out on PSUs are often tied closely to temperature, and they aren't going to use fans that give them all that much headroom. Putting a quieter and lower CFM fan in isn't something I recommend (not that I haven't done it without success.)

Modified psus are a good way to void your house insurance in the event of a fire....
To be honest, I think modifying a piece of equipment that can be potentially very dangerous is not a good idea. Especially if you're trying to reduce the cooling. Either stick with the PSU or save up and buy a silent passively cooled model.
earplugs.
or turn the music up.
Nox
thing is that its going into a router. Ity needs to be as quiet as poss cos the telephone point is in the main room.

So the psu is an old at/atx type and not one of the mini shuttle types?
Yes. Its a Seasonic 250PS

On a slight detour, I've just ordered a 60mm SilenX fan to shove on the back of my Shuttle PSU (200W Achme) with a fan adaptor - hopefully it'll make it somewhat quieter .
Same as Nox, put something in, or on. Or just try to live with it. I wont risk getting zap, or get teh house burned down.

Tons of people use their existing fan but move a wire from it and solder it onto the circuit board somewhere else to give 5V. Should be fine if its a low heat system. Many of them even have all the heat from their systems being blown out through the PSU
Should be fine
What about a Shuttle PSU?
Only needs to runa dual p3 mobo and via GFX
