          Yup, unfortunately.

          If I had the option between:
          a. getting (and being able to keep for free) a review sample of something under the condition I score it well.
          b. not getting the review sample

          I would choose b for sure!

            I agree with the mark.

            Caps aside, the power supply is very good for the money, certainly better than the half bridge designs we still get here (like the Premier power supplies).

            Tight regulation, good efficient design (83% efficiency), bridge rectifier, good pcb with actual holes (routed out) for protection, few cables near the secondary caps so they may actually get some air from the fan on them...

              I didn´t find the price for it. Have you found it somewhere ? How much does it cost ? Considering the site owner justifiy himself saying it is a budget PSU, it shouldn´t cost that much.

                The AK500 was available in retail in 09/2011 at 50k won which was about 45$
                This one shouldn't be more than 10$ more expensive and for a modular design, that's a good deal.

                  For about U$$ 50, even here in Brazil one could find something better. And at that price, it cannot be considered "budget", as the site owner says to defend himself.

                      That thing has terrible ripple. I wouldn't trust that thing with my desktop, let alone my server.

                          I understand that budget users don't want to pay much. But using craps is a TERRIBLE way to cut costs, and TBH I think it should be illegal to use crap caps. WHO cares about saving 50 cents on the caps when the potential consequences are the destruction of everything else in the system???

                          BTW: For anyone who is reading this and wondered what the link between Fuhjyyu and Jun Fu is, here's the file I posted earlier:
