Enermax makes a number of "quiet" PSUs.  I have one of their quieter
ones ("Whisper", from a few years ago); big fans with proper grilles
(not just punched holes in sheet metal) which run relatively quietly. 
There's also a thermal sensor that dangles down into the case which
adjusts the fan speed depending on the machine temperature (according
to a graph that's stuck to the side of the PSU).  It's been pretty
solid for me.
