I'm looking at the silverstone sst ml03b, but its tough trackind down the PSU recommendations on this board (silverstone 400w, seasonic etc). Can anyone recommend near quiet psu's in the UK for this case (that blow downwards)?

Scan.co.uk have the Silverstone Strider 400watt, I also use the Be Quiet Pure Power L7 300watt in my ML03. Both are very quiet but the Be Quiet is cheaper.

Cheers David.

Damn, I can't decide whether to go mITX or mATX!!

Ideally I'm looking at 1x BD-ROM, 1x SSD for os, 1x HDD for storage (3TB +), all running SUPER quiet + cool. Can this be done in mITX? Wink

If you have room in your entertainment center, bigger case is better......if you are looking for a Silverstone PSU in UK, you can get it from here- SilverStone Strider Series ST40F-ES.....
