Antec's Earth Watts is not the first envronmentally friendly power supply we've looked at but Antec's market clout is unmatched, so the release of the Earth Watts suggests that Green computing is going mainstream. What makes it environmentally friendly? Why efficiency, of course. The Earth Watts is 80 Plus certified, and it comes in relatively small capacities — 380W, 430W and 500W. If it's quiet, it could be a new favorite...

their PSU testing methodology has improved further, I like the "brown-out" test where they reduce AC Input to measure the effect of a "brownout".
