Excellent guide. I just found it, but wish I had something like it when I built my system. I ended up with a Seasonic Platinum Fanless 400.
When I calculate through your guide, assuming the 10 drives my case holds, I should have a 522-watt PSU. However, I have only 7 drives in it, for which the calculations suggest a 390-watt PSU. Guess I won't be adding more drives! (I don't have enough SATA power connectors for them anyway). Luckily my Noctua fans have maximum input power < 1 watt each.
