Wattage for PSU on similar HTPCs

I'm thinking about getting a fanless PSU from SilverStone NOISE!!, but it is only 300W.

I currently have a 400W PSU. I know, I know.... it's all scientific about what my PC's needs are and I could figure it out mathematically. But, I'm lazy ;-), so I'm just wondering what others have that are running a similar configuration:

Intel P4
3.0 GHz
1 G RAM
SageTV
2 TV Tuner cards (PVR-350 w/ TV-OUT and PVR-250)
SoundBlaster
Nice video card
DVD Player

Anybody else supporting a similar configuration with only 300W PSU?

thanks!

I've got 10 HDD running in my Athlon XP server on a 300W Fortron PS.

If I were you I'd get an Antec Phantom.

The Enermax Noisetaker EG325AX or EG375AX would do fine for your setup. My 485 can only be heard when all case fans are turned off, and only up close.

I wasn't sure if it would fit in my SilverStone ATX case. The SilverStone ST30NF PSU got nice reviews on silentpcreview.com and I figure it'll fit in my SilverStone case. I will check the dimensions again for the Antect. Thanks!
