Okia. The name doesn't really make any sense to me. Either does Broadway Com Corp, they are neither in broadway, and don't supply products to the communication industry.
Anyway we all know to stay away from their power supplies, they are just another chinese gutless wonder. What about this one? It was their heavy hitter (until they replaced it with the 680W.) so it should be good quality as every company needs to have one power supply that isn't a total POS (ahem, powmax.)
First lets start off with an overall shot.

With this unit, you get what you would expect from a 650W from 2001.
1x 20+4 pin motherboard connector
1x 4 pin P4 connector
1x 8 pin EPS connector
1x 6 pin PCI-E connector
1x 6+2 pin PCI-E connector
7x (!) molex connectors
2x Floppy connectors
3x Sata power connectors
But now lets get to the part we love the most, the internals.

Uhh, thats a new brand. The UL number leads to You Fu Lin electronics. The fan is pretty cheap, when I first got this unit and fired it up, it spun real slowly, me just thinking the temp control was real aggressive (this unit does indeed have temp control,) then it slowly started spinning up and made a horrible racket. I took the fan out and noticed that the bearings were completely dry, and look like they never had any oil from the factory. A few drops of oil later and it runs just fine. Interesting to note, it is a 135mm fan, quite impressive, but the hub has the motor of a 80mm fan inside of it. Cheap.
Alright, lets move onto the real internals.

Geez, this looks really familiar. I don't know why. Anyways it looks favorable for a 400W at the max. Decent sized heatsinks. Big ol' transformer. Full input filter, and a bridge rectifier!
But why does this layout seem so familiar?

Ahh, thats why. Its another YueLin unit. I'm use to working with the YLP-013's. This is a YLP-016. There is a few notable differences. I will...uhh...note them as I go.

Canicon is a recurring theme in this unit, as in everywhere. Every single stinking cap in this thing is a Canicon, and none are visibly failed. The bridge rectifier there is a 6A, 600V KBU package, good for up to 100C.

The primary switchers on this unit are two D4515 by Jilin-Sino in a TO-3P package. Rated at 400V and 15A continuous. They are used in a half-bridge configuration. The larger 5vsb transformer is closer to the primary switchers than on the YLP-013. It still utilizes a two transistor 5vsb circuit.

There was too much in the way to get a good shot of the secondary rectifiers, but I was able to eyeball their part numbers using a flashlight and lots of squinting. The 5v is supplied by a 60A, 45V schottky rectifier in a TO-247 package by Mospec. The 12v is supplied by two 16A, 200V ultra-fasts both in TO-220 package, again by Mospec. The 3.3v is supplied by a 40A, 45V schottky in TO-247 package, once again, by Mospec. All three rails are silkscreened for up to two TO-247 devices, where as the YLP-013 was only silkscreened for two on the 5v.
Funny, I have a Wintech WIN-400PS with the exact same capacity for it's secondary, and as it's name implies it is a 400W.

The secondary toroid coils are quite sizable.

The PWM controller/protections IC is a standard EST7502B found on the YLP-013, and the 013 is silkscreened for this little controller but is missing it. The little chip here is a Weltrend WT75180. I can't find a data sheet for it. I'd like to know what it does. I thought it was for 5v and 12v correction, as there is a 5v sense return and a 12v sense return silkscreened on both the 013 and 016, but they are not used on both. I'm thinking maybe it's for OPP?
