SST-ST30NF fanless PSU

Wow, the ST30NF from Silverstone is a fantastic power supply. I've been using it in my HTPC for over 2 months and it has worked perfectly.
  • The powersupply produces no noise (not even electronic buzzing unless you ear is right on the casing)
  • The powersupply was half the price of my original SilenX powersupply (which despite the advertising produces a heck of a lot more than 14dB of noise)
  • Produces a suprisingly little heat (Core 2 Duo system).
  • Although rated at only 320W, the power supply actually uses a 520W core and is configured to automatically shutdown if it is loaded to over ~400W.
I have two intake takes that blow air through the powersupply. The fans are undervolted to 7V and produce nex to no noise when running. I use the fans to promote air flow and reduce stagnant pools of warm air, not to actually perform any direct cooling.

Hello,

Are you the same person who created the VNCX- VNC ActiveX Control? If so, please leave a comment about how I might contact you, because I've tried to contact you using tum at veridicus dot com, but got no response back.

Regards,
