There's another thing about power supplies. I had the chance to heft a "surplus" HP branded 300W power supply at one of those stores... and it was much MUCH heftier than a generic 450W one. I could see that the inductors were really bigger.
So it's not just watts... it's the "quality" of those watts. With the Chinese putting melamine (that's plastic plate material!) in the food that they export, we shouldn't be surprised at overstated power ratings on their bargain-basement power supplies... _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
