So far my only real noise source of system is now my PSU. So, I will now seek passive semi-passive PSU. I got decent air flow in my case and specs are on my siganture. From here I can get these PSU's from one retailer:
Antec Phantom 500W is 149,90 €
SilverStone ST30NF Nightjar 300W is 139,90 €
I am not sure if Silverstone is compatible with my motherboard, since I need 24pin + P4 connector.
Another retailer has ElanVital Semi-Passive around 153 €'s...
Any suggestion or recomendations.

The Silverstone is a good one. But I belive 300W is on the weak side.thejamppa wrote:So far my only real noise source of system is now my PSU. So, I will now seek passive semi-passive PSU.

So maybe the Phantom is the better choise. Especially, as the difference in price is'nt that big.

Well, one of my friends suggested that my PSU might run now louder, due its top of HSF and might get rounds up due heat
Since there is now black Antec P180B on Sale ( 120 €'s ) I might get P180B instead. If I will have problems with PSU's loud fan... Well... then I look into matter. But this is good reason finally upgrade my old beaten and worn out SLK3000B.
If PSU keeps being problem in new case, then its Antec Neo HE 430W, Some recomended Seasonic Models or Silverstone passive. Since if I go Direct X10, I will go that on my gaming rig, not my 24/7 computer, Which is my main obsession for silencing.
Running 24/7 and gaming rigs give you easier time to make really silent computer on 24/7 use and decently quiet for gaming matches.
Thanks for help peoples. I apprciated help ^^
