1203249	2011-05-19 14:48:00	What to look for is something built by a reputable manufacturer and which uses high quality Japanese capacitors, or Samxon but NOT the GF series. Some designs are good but just use junk capacitors, in which case replacement with decent ones results in a good PSU. 105°C means nothing, there are plenty of Chinese and Taiwanese capacitors rated for 105°C which are rubbish. Note that for the real cheap PSUs the UL numbers etc are usually made up, don't exist or trace back to a good company and which are clearly lies. HongKongFlyApart PSU made by Antec? I don't think so...	Agent_24 (57)
