I'm almost done with my research of components. I will get a budget Customac Mini 2011-2012.
Core i3-2125 (using HD3000)
GA-B75M-D3H
2x4GB Corsair XMS3 PC1333
Silverstone TJ08
SSD 120GB (Crucial M4 or Samsung 830 depending on availability. or OCZ.)
OSX Lion (or ML... not sure at this moment)
Maybe later a GT430 if I can't run dual display. Maybe also additional HDDs for TimeMachine, etc.
Last but not least important: the PSU !
A quick look on thermaltake calculator gives me 220W (with a possible future GT430 and HDD)
I read about the 80+ efficiency, the silent PSU, the fanless which is not always silent because can be electronic noise, etc. But in the end, I'm still confused and don't know what to choose.
Thanks a lot for your suggestions and comments.

Budget: 50-60 ($/€)
Power: I'm not so sure. I guess 300W is sufficient. But can I avoid any electronic buzzing, by taking at 400W, which will run at lower ?
Fanless vs Quiet?: Fanless is complete silence. But on the other hand, if it's too hot in the case and start doing some electronic noise... It would be stupid. Better take a well known silent PSU?
Few possibilities that I found on my amazon.at (with links below)
