Personally I'd risk the 25 watts and the warranty and go for the silencer. I have a Silencer 235 (ATX) in my P6 mid tower case, and the darn thing's so quiet I wonder if it's on, usually. This is a blessing to me, as power supplies have bummed my ears for years (and I'm sitting here with two of them, one on each side). For me, if it conks out after 2 yrs instead of 3, I've had my money's worth. When I built this ATX machine a year ago (I agree, build it yourself and understand it; I wouldn't do it any other way again), I tried to get a PC Power and Cooling ATX case, but at that time they didn't have much and what they had was overpriced. Now they have good ATX offerings at reasonable prices, a no brainer. But I'd still get the Silencer 275 if I were doing it right now. Regards, Spots
