Power Supplies Made in China

[rroth@dwave.net]

I am wondering how many people are having problems with power supplies made in China. I have had two of them fail thus far.

Three Antecs, a Leadman, a Mitac, and an Enlight have been running OK for me.

Off-topic note about Enlight: I recently bought their EN-72370X3 mid-tower from newegg. Good quality PSU (AMD rated up to 1.2GHz), but I was disappointed with the case.

The case fan is noisy, I installed an Antec instead. The rails for the 5.25" drives allow movement in all directions; I resorted to lashing the drives together with ty-wraps.

The most annoying thing was the tapped (sort of) holes for the I/O boards, they needed a 6-32 tap run through them to make them usable. No clearance for a tap handle, so I used a 4" adjustable wrench.

Also annoying is the requirement to remove the front bezel to get inside the case; it's a stiff latch, and the ears on top make a sickening "crack" as you swing the thing up.

I bought a 2nd hand Tatung pc (both it and the power supply made in Taiwan) and not only has the power supply blown twice in 12months but also the retailers have a whole batch of them waiting for replacement power supplies. I have been waiting nearly 2months for a replacement !! so something is wrong somewhere.
