Okay, well I just saw that Newegg is having a 48-hour sale on PSU's. I'm not necessarily in need of a new one, but I could go for one. My Silverstone is still working perfectly, but it sure is loud. Also, it get's pretty warm (making it even louder due to the fan spinning faster) now that it's upstairs in my room as opposed to the basement where it is about 10 degrees (C) cooler. My PSU definitely has an effect on the ambient temperature in my room (my room is the hottest room in the entire house by about 5 degrees when my pc is on). I do have money to burn, and I could also go for another 2gb of ram.
Here's the PSU I'm thinking about getting:

Ram (I already have a set of these, so I know they're good):

I'm not 100% sure if there will be a temperature difference, but the noise level alone may be worth the $70. Also, it's modular which would allow my case to be EVEN cleaner (woo-hoo!). I guess I'm pretty much answering my own question, but heck I'll ask it anyway....Do you think it's worth it?
Just in case you would like to know, here's my current PSU:
