OCZ Powerstream 520
OCZ though making great power supplies, uses garbage caps, which just doesnt make sense to me.

Re: OCZ Powerstream 520
Asia-X? Is that a cap brand? If so, I've never heard of it - good or bad! I can see the Fuhjyyu logo on one of the other caps in the background though, along with a Teapo, so it looks like they're really cutting costs by using crap caps. Either that, or they simply don't know about the 'bad caps' phenomenon...
Recap it and it'll be great

Re: OCZ Powerstream 520
There must be a conspiracy with power supply mfrs. I have found them now in Emacs, Antec, Enhance and FSP/Sparkles. All are great supplies after recaps.Comment

Re: OCZ Powerstream 520
We have some Spire Rocketeer 550Watt supply's with Asia-X capacitors. So spire uses them as well, They are built by topower acording to that RU number on it.Comment

Re: OCZ Powerstream 520
Is ashame so little difference between a "Quad fan mega turbo 8000Watt $5 + shipping PSU" and a $100 PSU, the difference seems so slight when the capacitors are nearly the same.Rubycon Rubycon RubyconComment

Re: OCZ Powerstream 520
i saw those caps in a NZXT Precise PRC-1000W PSU (review @ jonnyguru.com). The PSu will cost you ~$300. OEM is Topower.
days are so short when you actually do something..Comment

Re: OCZ Powerstream 520
You should be taking sideways glances at Topower. Apart from the powerstream 510, most of their of their other offerings have been misses rather than hits when it comes to price/build-quality.Q6700 @ 3.6 GHz

Hi,
Back after a long hiatus with some old power supplies that need repairing. I've recently picked up a couple of 386SX systems, two 486DX systems, a SiliconGraphics Indy and an iMac G3 that either have verified leaking capacitors in their power supplies, or are likely to in the near future. For the sake of simplicity, instead of tackling all at once, I'm starting with the 386's and one of the 486's.
The 386's power supplies are Seasonic SS4040A's, with caps that are visibly leaking, and 9 replacement caps per unit are required. Most appear to be from the Rubycon... -
All,
I recently purchased for a colleague and myself two used HP Docking Stations. They are for home use and are exact model as the ones we use at work for our laptops. We are both Software Developers.
Anyways these docks are HP Model 5TW10UT#ABA.
Unfortunately they did not come with there Power supplies (PSU) and I got them reasonable from eBay.
I purchased 2 new from Amazon After Market Power Supplies(PSU). Same Voltage and Same Amperage and in fact it mentions on the Amazon page they are supported for these docks as well.

Here is the eBay website link where I bought them from

Not having the best of luck with my own gadgets atm - I own two identical X15 R2 laptops, both have died suddenly with no prior issues. I have time to focus on one of them and in this post. I might need some hand-holding with this so I kindly ask for some understanding

Hi
Im hoping someone might be able to give me some idea of what may be wrong with my Monitor Audio RSW12 Sub.
Ive owned it since new in around 2002, so would really like to keep it running if I can, it was the first ‘decent' bit of audio equipment I ever purchased and is a little sentimental.
The issue I had was that it would power up with the red light, but sometimes the green light would not come on and I would get no bass from it. If the green light did come on though, I would get sound out of it.
I have already tried replacing all of the...
