Just so you know, 21dB isn't silent - it's quite quiet, but that's a rather misleading title they use (they're not the only ones of course).
Personally, I'd grab the Tagan for a tenner more at Scan, or if you want really quiet, the Zalman for £15 more.
Great PSU - right on your budget, they are pretty quiet, modular and have decent 12v rails and plenty of connectors.

I run the 620W Enermax Liberty and its BRILLIANT.......so stable its untrue and practically silent.
Keep away from the lower end Tagans. Their 12V rails are poo!!!
The s12-430 is now in stock at scan, possibly the quietest fanned psu:

Having said that I had a 400W Liberty for a while and they are excellent power supplies too.
I've been using the FSP 500W for a while now, and I certainly can't hear it unless I press my lug to it.

Pretty cheap, and it's rails are absolutely solid. Best PSU I've ever owned by a country mile, including the Tagans.
I'd recommend the Seasonic 430.
The others (Enermax, FSP/Fortron) are good as well as advised by Blitzen.
thanks for the replies. i think ill go with the seasonic.
