fuckin' excellent!
i was wondering if they were gonna say one day
"huhm...good psus are heavy, so why the hell not!"
just lol!
oh yeah, it's seems extra weight is glued!
priceless indeed!
they really are worth their weight....in laughs!Comment

Re: echo star "480w".just when you thought you had seen it all...
The glued weights ... I keep laughing everytime I see that picture. Truly failblog.org worthy.
...
And look at that +5vsb mosfet. I've seen bigger transistors on cheap toy RC cars!
But at least you have a voltage switch (FYI, my L&Cs just have a "220v only" stickers), plus I see 4 Teapo caps there - you have to give them some credit for that... although without any filtering on the primary, they will be screwed pretty soon.
Details aside, it's indeed priceless. You should send it to Jonnyguru for a test - what if it really makes it to the label specifications?

Looks like a 250 W at best! Maybe 300 W. Definitely not a 480 W! Look at the +12 V amp rating!ASRock B550 PG Velocita

Wow. That's "better" than the new 400w PowMax I keep around for a joke. (Or to sell to someone I don't like)
Where's the bridge rectifier on that 480w wonder?
I thought that teenie little primary side diodes like the one visible between the primary cap and heatsink were limited to maybe 150w. On a good day, and arranged so that they stand off the board so they could get some air on them.
I say it went boom under 100w.
It is obviously a rebadged First Regency Asian Union Duet Corporation unit (F.R.A.U.D corp)
Have fun!

PS. Oh! I broke the code! That there "480w" rating is a typo! It should read "480Mw" for MARKETING watts.

Re: echo star "480w".just when you thought you had seen it all...
You have no faith!!!
This PSU can sustain 480W load... for 1nS
On the label they didn't write 480W forever...
I have never seen a PC PSU with such small board as this one.

Re: echo star "480w".just when you thought you had seen it all...
They must have labeled it wrong. It's probably a 480 mW PSU.
It says "Do not remove the cover under any circumstances". Then people might find out they got royally hosed on their PSU purchase.Last edited by Silentbob; 01-05-2009, 05:33 AM.Comment

i'd say 48.0W combined max. peak lol
looks like they just put a ITX "power supply" into a standard ATX PSU casing.. lolOriginally Posted by Gianni

I used one of those PowerMax cases to build one in the past. I may have posted about it here on this forum before. Anyway the "PSU" didn't last three months. Caps took a crap. The system had two DVD burners, a modem, and maybe a LAN card in it. Pure Junk!

Looking it up, lowest price I could find was $15. And as usual, people with little knowledge about PSUs will buy it and think they got a 480W PSU at a bargain price. :SComment

There's one born every minute!
Actually, I saw not one but two (suckers) once at Tiger Direct.... a couple of guys were looking over a "Diabolo" case with "450w" PSU.... for $29! There was a great deal of discussion about who gets to keep the PSU!
Going halves on a $29 case?

Re: echo star "480w".just when you thought you had seen it all...
The fans and ferrite coils are probably the most worthwhile parts. Of course it's hard to find any ferrite coils in cheap PSU and fans are only good for case fans as they can't push much air. If you collect 5 cheap PSUs, maybe you'll have enough parts to complete one, and even then the PSU still won't have SC, OPP, and other protections.Originally posted by kc8adu
By the way, I have a 75 watt Mitac PSU from a Compaq Pressario. Has 5x the components of that "Echostar", and 2x bigger PCB, with Delta fan. Too bad it's an AT PSU.Last edited by momaka; 01-06-2009, 03:08 PM.Comment
