    I can't wait any longer....

    I ordered (amongst) other things the following from Scan:

    Seasonic S12-430W PSU
    2 x 120mm Sharkoon 1000rpm fans.

    Both of these items are out of stock and aren't due in for ages.


    Can anyone suggest alternative products. Price is not an issue but they must be as silent (or better) than the above. Noise (or lack of) is key for me.

    It will go into my main system (on LHS).

    How about the Seasonic 380?

    The last two Sharkoon's I had weren't as quite as they should have been. The only other fan I would try (have no experience though) if I was in a rush is the NorthQ one

    That sounds like good advice. Anyone had any experience with NorthQ fans???

    I got an enermax liberty from scan about a month ago, it's an awesome power supply. I literally can't hear my system and it's sitting right beside me. I've got the 500W but they do a 400W if the 500 is too much.
