With the new PC for the first time I wanted a quality NT have a certification of min. 80+ (80+ bronze here is min. 83-85% efficiency).
Although NoName NT have a lot of power but are inefficient. So I had originally intended for my old one 500W NT which I abrauchte after 1 1/2 years.
My neighbor then borrowed a Enermax NT with 350W which was perfectly adequate.
So it was clear:
1. You've always bought much too much power, never paid attention to what is really necessary.
2. You save on the wrong end.
This 430W NT BeQuiet! I have checked the error. With fewer watts and a PC, the more power swallows than my age PC did I get well clear.
The cable management is another good solution for the user to escape from the chaos in the PC, even if it is hardly noticeable when my current housing.
Since I will probably have to again stoking money.
The fan is quiet but not silent level. As one would have to operate on the Straight Power series uses a different fan shape.
But it is def. quieter than all NT I had before and do not get to listen in general. Operating noises.
We come to the essence. The NT is sufficient to following Watt-heavy to use PC:
AMD X6 1090T (125W rising under load)
Radeon HD 6850 (165W rising under load)
FP 1TB Hitachi
2 case fans from Enermax
1 CPU cooler from Scythe (Katana3)
Samsung BD drive
ASRock 870 Extreme3 R2.0
As you can see the components of today (October 2011) very timely and everything is currently also runs it.
I highly recommend this NT without hesitation if you want to have a good current PC or has. For toward high-end, however, I would recommend more watts.

Last but not least:
I bought the NT when the seller Letssell. The delivery took place reliably and can therefore recommend him.
