Apart from Antec, I've heard a lot of good things about Seasonic power supplies, particularly in regard to noise. One very handy resource if you've not used it before is the Silent PC Review website -- the guys there not only review a lot of different components with an ear to their noise output, but they also maintain recommended component lists that are updated regularly.
