Quiet Modular PSU

[gooner]

Any idea's on a good, quiet, modular power supply? Needs to be able to handle 2 8800 gtx's sometime in the future.

If I'm correct, Silverstone makes some really nice quiet, modular PSU's.
You may want to check them out.

Edit:
Heres one that would be perfect for your needs, with enough power too:
Newegg.com - SILVERSTONE ST75F ATX 12V 2.2 & EPS 12V 750W Power Supply 115 - 240V - Retail

CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX ATX12V / EPS12V 750W Power Supply 100 - 240 V UL, CE, CB, TUV, FCC, CCC
ZALMAN ZM – 850 HP ATX12V / EPS12V 850W Power Supply 100 - 240 V cUL, CE, CB, FCC
There are some better options that are not modular, that I'd recommend.....
PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 Quad EPS12V 750W Power Supply 100 - 240 V UL, CE, CB, RoHS
PC Power & Cooling S75QB EPS12V 750W Power Supply 100 - 240 V UL, ULC, CE, CB, RoHS
OCZ GameXStream OCZ700GXSSLI ATX12V 700W Power Supply 100 - 240 V

Thanks for that. Is there any reason not to go modular? I haven't got much room in there and I'm about to add a radiator, pump and stuff so I was just trying to cut down on unused cables.

Not really, other than just the overall quality of the unit.

Some people will talk about the drop in power quality going from a non-modular to a modular PSU, but the technology has improved to the point that thats no longer a real issue. Both modular units I linked are top notch, but neither is the quality of the three non-modular units i linked......and they are more expensive.

If I had a choice, and was looking for the best, quietest PSU, I'd pick the PC Power and Cooling Silencer.

Either of the Silverstone Decathlon units are nice and should be reasonably quiet. Two 8800GTX's are going to suck a good bit of power and will require a relatively beefy PSU (I would suggest nothing less than a 650W unit). That said, it's going to be harder and harder to keep those kinds of high-power PSU's quiet when they start pumping out the watts...

I have both a modular and an non modular in my PC's and I must say they take up about the same amount of space. I use all of the connections on the modular to hook up everything I need in my computer, so its like not having a modular unit anyway since all connections are in use.

i've got the 750 silencer sitting in an open case (dd torture rack) about two feet from my ears and i can't hear it over any of my low speed fans which are really quiet also. its been rock solid since i've had it and the price has gone down quite a bit since i bought it only a few months ago.

i also have the TT850W modular psu in my other system and after hooking up the cables that i need, there really isn't that much space saved. there maybe 1 or 2 cables that weren't used but i wouldn't call it a dramatic improvement in freeing up space inside the case. but of course your results may vary.

Thanks for the help gents.

I really like Silverstone's Decathlon line, which utilizes a single +12V rail design like PC Power & Cooling units (for those that care). The DA750 powers my main system, and is SLI certified.

As pointed out above, Corsair puts on out a damn good PSU.
