    Anyone heard of TGR brand?

    I received a couple of free Micron PC brand computers from a company clearing out old stuff. (I love craigslist.org!)

    Micron no longer sells PCs here. I guess they couldn't compete with Dell. So, no details at their site.

    Anyway, I cracked open the cases to find a brand of PSU I couldn't find any info on. It's TGR, model # FV-250N26, UL # E138681.
    (See pic)

    It has a TUV certification (I assume that's good). 250W unit, powering an Intel 815 mATX motherboard and Tualatin core 1.1 GHz Celeron...more than enough power.

    These PCs are LOUD. Like jets taxiing for takeoff.
    If it's worth keeping, then I'll swap out the fans for some more quieter ones.
    If it's not, then I have an ABC-labeled Sparkle/FSP 235W PSU ready to take up duty. It's whisper quiet.

    BTW, a 300W Achme ATX PSU with an old AT style extra connector, came into my possession. Claims intel P4 ready.
    Is Achme junk or acceptable? No list of this brand either.

    Man, I'm beginning to accumulate more old systems than I know what to do with! It may be time to toss out the old AT systems.

          Those come back to Lead Year. I think they're out of business? Don't know much about them 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!

                  Open it and post that photo - that's more interesting.

                      I'll post pics of the innards asap. These PCs were so dirty inside, everything looked like it was covered in volcanic ash, so I'd need to prepare for the dust cloud as I crack open the cover. Must clean it up to see anything.

                      I like my equipment clean and shiny as possible. It's amazing how nasty some systems are allowed to get by their owners. That post of the nicotine smoke stained motherboard was a good example.
                      We should start another thread on pics of the nastiest systems we've come across.

                              OK, pics of interior are posted in the PSU pics thread.
                              Well, it turned out to be a crappy PSU, all the caps are Fuhjyyu brand.

                                  It doesn't look that bad - I've seen many older PSUs still working without any problems with Fuhjyyu caps. They probably crapped out only recently.

                                      BEST 505 Vs Mechanic Brand Reballing Balls with Lead
                                      by Stanley1843
                                      Hello,
                                      has anyone use these Brands of solder balls? The brand BEST writes on the label of the jar the specs of the solder balls instead of the Mechanic brand. I beleive that BEST brand must be more professional (in labeling at least) but I have never try one of them so I would like your opinion. By the way I hardly can I find the Mechanic brand in aliexpress (the only where I found was lead free solder balls) and on ebay these that I found are approximately15USD per jar. If you know any other trusted brand of solder balls please tell me.
