I have since moved the PSU to my wife's computer. In regards to the clearance issue... the hub protrudes approximately 3/4 cm from the PSU and does not affect clearance. I see no reason why it would have to be removed, but wouldn't be difficult if need be.

On to the question of sound. I don't have the proper equipment to test the db levels, but the psu runs nearly silent. Hooking it up by itself, the only reason I know it was on and working was the fans were moving and the LED was lit. It is quieter than optical drives and hard drives. Never really pushed my system to an extreme due to contraints on RAM and CPU, but the voltages were rock solid at a 600MHz OC.
