No, no, and no. I just went to their site to check the specs and noticed that they have a new model, the Silencer 400 ATX. Last time I ordered 275 watts was as good as it got. <smile> http://www.pcpowercooling.com/products/power_supplies/ultra_quiet/index.htm > Several people cited the cd-rom as a major source of noise, > I'm curious about this.

When I play music CD's the drive noise is irritating. I find that older slower drives are much quieter. I've been working on plans for a sound-proof case-cover which I think would be a big hit with anyone running their computer in a bedroom, a small office, or in a multimedia setting. When I'm meditating all those motor noises really start to bother me. Dexter Graphic
