Apart from Antec, I've heard a lot of good things about Seasonic power
supplies, particularly in regard to noise. One very handy resource if
you've not used it before is the Silent PC Review website -- the guys
there not only review a lot of different components with an ear to their
noise output, but they also maintain recommended component lists that
are updated regularly. Here's their recommended PSUs page:
