Today I went at university storage department and I had there over 30 psus to check (and take whatever I liked). Among them there were 2 antec, clearly the best, theoretically at least...
The 2 antecs were identically same: SL450P Smart Power 450watt output.
The first one did not work at all, no output voltages or fan movement.
The second one when connected to AC with the psu on sorted with ground, it exploded with a loud sound and sparks coming from inside.
I got the first one home and opened it... Nothing seems to be bad. Crappy caps everywhere but noone bulged or leaked or exploded. Psu is brand new, has no dust in it... Maybe they got it dead on arrival.
I upload some photos to see for yourselves. Do you know possible failure reasons?
