    UL is Wintech. The "WIN" on the transformers is all Wintech too.

    Interesting layout. How they have the AC input going through the heatsinks to the primary side. Bizarre.
    Rest in peace BFG. You were... a job...

      I have that same looking power supply round here somewhere also.. with the single heatsink with primary and secondary semis on them, although mine actually has a Wintech sticker on it and its labelled 300W. It'd be interesting to see if there was any difference in its caps... I think mine had Jee caps from top to bottom. On a related note, heres another 250W CompUSA power supply I took pics of a few years back that died a silent death as evidenced by the scorch mark. As I recall it was one of those... "died in the middle of the night while nobody was looking" deals. The CS(?)/Saturn looking caps, along with the Rulycons probably didnt help the situation.

        WOW, shoddy heatsinks.... When the casing weighs more than the cooling apparatus, you know its a cheapo....

          Wow! I suppose I'm lucky, my two 250w Wintechs are fairly heavy, have decent heatsinks, and have "MK" caps on input and Fuhjyyus on output. Not really worth recapping though.
          You know there's something wrong when you open up a PSU and are glad to find Teapos.
          Why I don't buy cheap cases!

            That's the weird thing about Wintech. You can't blanket recommend them because they make such a wide range of product.

              forgot to mention the biggest secondary cap is 1000mfd.
              fuhjju at that.
              chump usa is known here for selling crap at a premium anyway so no surprise.

                When I was at Delta, my boss handed me a no-name cheapy from Fry's. It was labelled "250W" but I would have been afraid to run it above 150W for any significant amount of time. The +3.3V and +5V rectifiers were rated for only an amp or two over the rating for the O/P - bad design practice. It also had several potential safety issues that had me scared to apply AC power. Cheap crap may be cheap, but it's still crap.
