300w would still be a great option for a little entertainment PC for the living room. a low powered system made for handling dvd to tv, Mp3 playing, that kind of deal.

women hate noise, might prove a nice option for some cases.

the PSU was only a 250watts. kinda cheapo. and cheapo PSUs don't make that much noise. All the hdd's the guy had in his system would make more noise.

Thermaltake makes silent PSUs also. Although only 350w they at least use copper
