Today, a large percentage of enthusiast user is trying to build a very quiet or even inaudible computer system. We all know that quiet cooling fans are only a part of the "silent solution"; an efficient, quiet power supply unit is a must when building a low noise computer. Although still not very well known to enthusiasts worldwide, Be Quiet (a subsidiary company of Listan which originates from Germany) designs and builds some of the best noiseless power supply units out there. Be Quiet units have never disappointed us in the past, but while they perform extremely well by any standard, they also tend to cost quite a lot. Today we will take a look at the most powerful silent unit they have available, the DarkPower Pro 1kW.

I gotta admit i actually like the look of those Be Quiet PSUs, how much do they go for here in the UK?
The only problem is, i don't understand voltages and stuff

i take electronics at school but only because i was forced by the parents

That particular unit would cost about 200 quid more or less.

If you don't understand power circuits much...well, you don't need it in the first place!
