From Maximum PC Mag: not very technical, but....

Even with the Core 2 Extreme X6800's electricity-sipping ways, we couldn't skimp on power with five hard drives, two video cards, and a Blu-ray drive to feed. We wanted power that's reliable, powerful, and quiet, so we turned to the go-to company for PSU's: PC Power and Cooling, and its new Silencer 750. This PSU gives us confidence that we won't smell the acrid scent of blown components on boot, or experience the power dropoffs and transients that have haunted lesser power supply companies. The best feature of the Silencer 750 is its silence, though. By lengthening the case of the PSU slightly, PC Power and Cooling says it was able to eliminate much of the cavitation noise of air being sucked over the components. And it did this without sacrificing the PSU's power rating. When the company says its PSUs hit a rating, dog nab it, they do.

And, a Google search does not find much else in the way of reviews on it. (3Dgameman.com has apparently exceeded their bandwidth limit...had a video review, but, no longer available.)

No way: Google cache has the video...

Test system very similar...same mobo, etc... Not up to Paul's tech level, but, favorable review. (Caveat: note that PCPC sent the PSU to be reviewed, so, there is potential for favorable bias....)
