No but I have a Thermaltake fanless power supply . I did a review on it HERE . It provides really good stable power but it raised the case temp a few decrees. The Thermaltake has two big heat sinks and a heat pipe set up one of them is on front of the supply and thus inside the case and one hangs out the back. Nice idea but you had better have good case cooling.

Knowing Antec, it'll probably run really hot ;)

I like the bigger heatsink area of the ThermalTake.... but it's still a TT product :(

Just buy ones with quiet fans or change them yourself.

http://www.silentpcreview.com/ is a great place if you're seeking the holy grail of silent PCs. They also reviewed that Antec Phantom. Definetly the right place to check out, I did some research there for my next PC. Though I won't opt for a complete fanless PSU, I'll go with one that has a rather quiet 120mm bottomfan.
