It's been a challenge for many of the manufacturers of power supplies to square the usually incompatible needs for more power and less noise.
Thermaltake' Silent Purepower 480W scores well on both points; the 480W supply has an incredible claimed noise level of 17dBA during normal operation, but this obviously rises as you increase the speed of the fans, which is unavoidable in powerful systems.
It' not the usual anonymous grey box either, but has a black and silver finish with dual 8cm orange cooling fans.
As with most higher end PSUs, the main cable loom is wrapped in a nylon net.
The three main power cables are a useful 112cm long and there are plenty of connectors to go around: one 20-pin ATX, one 6-pin auxillary, one 4-pin 12V ATX, nine 4-pin Molex, three floppy and one SATA, plus single-speed monitoring and speed controller cables.
The intake fan is thermostatically controlled for safety but the exhaust fan is manually adjustable through either the rear expansion plate control or the 5.25in bay control, both of which are bundled in the box along with all fixing screws, a mains lead and a manual.
