17. Seasonic S12-330W: Big Quiet Fan
The S12 in this well-respected Seasonic brand name stands for "Silent 12 cm Fan Series," which introduces the big, quiet slow fans that the company uses to keep their power supplies whisper quiet.
The PSUs in this product line come in power ratings from 330 Watts all the way up to 600 Watts, and all feature thermostatically controlled fans and high efficiency ratings.
If 330 watts isn't enough for your HTPC needs, the S12 380W or 430W offerings will surely be up to the job. Most HTPCs we build, however, seldom run long at over 220 W maximum power draw, under virtually all circumstances.
