Rock Solid Performance, Incredible Value
Extending Corsair’s legendary reputation in performance and quality, the new Corsair VX family of power supplies features the industry’s most efficient power management and ultra-quiet design for mainstream users. Unlike most power supplies in the market, the Corsair VX incorporates a single +12V power rail that delivers continuous power under heavy loads. This conservative design ensures reliable operation in today’s most demanding system configurations and adds compatibility for future platforms. The unique combination of rock solid performance and incredible value puts the Corsair VX family of power supplies in a class of its own. Ideal for home theater PCs and ENERGY STAR PCs, the VX line maximizes energy savings and minimum noise generation thanks to double-forward switching circuitry design. Each Corsair VX power supply is backed with an industry-leading 5-year warranty and 24/7 on-demand customer service.

I read on NCIX's forum that these units are very quiet and they would be excellent for an HTPC.
Also, the 450W is ony sale $80 (link). Mildly expensive I would say, but we all know about Corsair's quality in power supplies...

80 bucks isn't too bad for a brand name power supply, and if its quiet thats a huge bonus (and normally raises the price alot)

For your average PC or HTPC, 450 Watts is more than enough at the moment, I've still got an old Enermax 460 thats running my one rig
