I use an MFJ 45A supply but replaced one of the fans with a quieter model.

I have been very happy with my MegaWatt 40 amp. Some small fan noise, though.
I bet you will run into supply issues whatever you buy, so you might want
to get something on order soon.

Those Astron linears (RS Series) are bullet proof units that last forever.
I have an ages old RS-12A that powers all the ancillary equipment on my
desk. It just runs, quiet and RF noise-free!

I bought a small Astron RS-20A when I was first licensed in 1993 and
keep it now for taking to field day or portable. I have been using an
Astron RS-35A since around 1995 when I got into HF and was using 2
radios. It has enough power for an HF radio, satellite radio, the TNC,
and another 2m radio. I also power the ICOM CIT level converter and the
Yaesu rotor control interface for tracking satellites. Plenty of power
and has run for many years without a hiccup. I have it plugged into a
Wemo switch which allows me to turn the power on when I am not at home
and also turn the power off when I stop operating and sometimes forget
to kill the power to the power supply.
I have been very happy with the Astron products in fact, I never have to
worry about them. They are like a Timex, they just keep on ticking. Okay
for the young ones here that do not know what a Timex is ;-), like an
Eveready Bunny that never stops.
