Since a few weeks ago my old power supply unit exploded (may have been too old), I bought myself the new power supply unit Enermax Modu82+ 425w. It's very quiet. It's controlled by an microcontroller using fuzzy logic. So far I am very happy with it.
Additional I received 2 small packs of branded candy. Branded by the computer shop :).
I still have to buy a new CPU fan. My current CPU configuration is too hot. My mainboard includes an additional microcontroller, which takes care of the CPU temperature and throttles the CPU down if needed. Right now my CPU uses a passive cooler. Which itself is being cooled by the case fan. Which is not very efficient. And since the cable of my case fan is too short, it is using the connector of the CPU fan. Which is resulting in a very fast and a little anoying case fan ;) I already ordered a fan of Zalman. Which seems to be the best for my old CPU Socket and my relative small ATX case.
I am using an old Intel Pentium 4 (2.4Ghz) using a Socket 478 and a old school Fujitsu Siemens mainboard. Somehow I am bound to older hardware, because I want to use my AGP graphic board, my PCI cards (I own no PCIe devices), and my IDE hard drives (No S-ATA here, but planed. I already have a PCI -> S-ATA Controller installed).
