PSU Questions

    A recent post here has me thinking about power supplies. I have a stock 420 watt PSU. I might want to replace my stock power supply and I have a few questions:


    1. What are some good brands and model numbers?
    2. Is there such as thing as a fan-less ATX power supply?
    3. Does the power supply pull a constant wattage or does it depend on what hardware is in use?
    4. Is there a way to modify a PSU to make it quieter or give off less heat?
    5. What is the technical term for the standard PSU power connector?


    In upgrading my PSU I'll be breaking my standard "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" credo as my PSU is working fine and seems to power my machine adequately. I've simply run out of things to upgrade at the moment (or rather I'm comfortable with all the other aspects of my PC). :)

    Can't stop tinkerin', ya know?
