Wow, that thing is trash! I bet that transformer is only an ERL-28. No 12V filtering, that is just terrible, I thought even Leadman would put at least one 680uF cap there, wow! The caps on the motherboard would be working overtime to make up for that and probably not last long at all. And those heatsinks are dreadful. And it has a fan controller lol...I think it would last longer soldered straight to the board cause I'm sure the efficiency in that thing is below 70% at all times, that thing would get hot in a hurry! Even the L&C that i'm looking at right now looks a million times better, and it's pretty bad too....Thanks for ripping it in half biggrin.gif


Here is the only PSU I can think of that is about as bad, the one on the right (I pulled off one of the input caps) They're both L&C, I'm actually going to do some modding to the one on the left to make it usable.
