Antec TruePower 550

[dood]

that's right... the biggest, baddest, PSU you could buy when I bought it. Wasn't being taxed... ran for about a year and then the server wouldn't run anymore. Granted it was on 24x7, but c'mon!

Didn't open it up because it's an expensive supply, and I got it replaced for free under Antecs AQ3 warranty.

had to run the server on a truepower 350 for about 2 weeks while I waited for the new supply, though.

many of the major psu brands all use the same kind of bad caps, i have checked inside antec/addtronics/zalman, all similar crap teapos, fujiyyu etc. i think most psus are made in the same few factories in china. last psu i seen apart from recent hp server psus using good caps was a old 250W with big panasonic caps and jamicons. i dont know why someone doesnt make a psu with good caps. hell $20 extra retail should easily cover it.

Heh,Heh. I had a coffee maker that had GSC crapacitors, needless to say I tossed that unit instead of fixing it.
