I would like to start a thread of devices maybe to avoid because of the brand of capacitors used. I just opened up an addtronics p4 350w psu Model ENP-0735 and found it packed with TEAPO caps :cry: . Supposedly a premium psu, not used much because the fan is very powerful and noisy.

looking back, i guess it wasnt such a good idea
:o
anyway i am going to list some stuff anyway, also consolidate some of my other posts. I will list devices with good caps and ones with potential bad caps. It was bad to say avoid these products without seeing an actual failure.
GOOD
HP DL380 G4 Server - Sanyo OS-Con on motherboard, Nichicon and Rubycon in PSU
Cisco 2950t 24port switch - Nichicon on board, PSU has some dodgy looking ones
BAD
Zyxel ADSLoPOTS router - Hermei caps (nasty values also 1000uf 25V and very crowded, a difficult recapping if required but an excellent router)
Zyxel GS-1008 8 ports gigabit switch - Supacon caps
