Hi All,
Since I'll be recapping my Antec 550 soon, I thought I'd get other power supplies, laying around, in working order to power some less than 1ghz m'boards I have. I had two in mind, an Astec ATX-250-3505, and a Allied AL-350ATX. The Astec works, and I was pleasantly surprised to find it had all Nichicon caps (or all I could see). So I won't worry about that one. The Allied is non-working, and looking in found it populated with Jun Fu, G-Luxon, and Capxon. The two big caps are Jun Fu. The ps apparently wasn't run much, it's very clean inside (some dirt on the fan blades), but the Jun Fu 3300uf @ 16v has leaked.
My question is: Based on your experience with Allied's, are the other components of a high enough grade that the 350 watts, stated on the sticker, would be actually realized after a re-cap? Or should I just not bother?
Thanks, Richard
