hondaguy asks: "I'm thinking of purchasing a Lian Li case. Very nice case, but doesn't come with a power supply. Which after-market power supplies are the best for the ATX format, in terms of noise, output (lots of accessories) and longevity. Please post links if possible."
PC Power & Cooling!

I worked at a coal mine - lots of conductive carbon dust floating around in the air. We lost keyboards, monitors, motherboards, and lots and lots of power supplies.
We always replaced the manufacturer's power supplies with PC Power & Cooling supplies. They use real ball bearings in thier fans (so they last longer), and they tolerate lots of dust. We never had one of these blow up. I can't think of any other brand that we could say the same about.

alternatively, i understand it is fairly easy to disassemble a power supply and get really nice quiet sanyo denki or panaflow fan to replace the (most likely) lower quality noisy sleeve bearing fan in there now. check out plycon for fans if taking this route.

you may want to check out this power supply or the enermax whisper series.
