Re: Power supply build quality pictorial DISCUSSION
This is the question, an engineer has to solve. ;-)
But as seen on the Enermax psu`s, if keept cool may be many badcaps will last, but certainly there are brands which will go bad regardless if cool or not.
I think if you want to go cheap take Jamikon or Capxon, i think both are decent for normal operation and in quantity may be chep. In Germany there are e.g Frolyt and Roedstein, in USA may be ELNA which are all in all shure not the best on the market (regarding ESR and like that) but i think at least they are safe on the long run and have a responsible manufakturing philosophi (unlike some Chinese or Taiwanees producer which are laking in knowledge and responsibility too).
Not forget EPCOS and Vishay / Phillips, but i don`t think they are on a budget.
