Re: Power supply build quality pictorial. part 2
Looks a bit bare for a 500w unit, particularly the transformer, heatsinks, and primary capacitor all seem a bit small. IMO, It might be fine for up to 400w, but probably not too much more.
Speaking of Segotep, I have/had a Segotep 750w unit that I had bought for a computer I was building for my older sister, and before installing it, I took the lid off a took a couple of photos, and it overall didn't look like a bad PSU, other than the capacitor choice, which was a mix of Chengx with a few SC caps mixed in. And while I probably should've recapped it before giving it to my sister, I didn't because I didn't want the PSU to blow up the moment I recapped it, especially since it was still under warranty (it did not have any warranty stickers on it to stop me from opening it up, which is why I did). So odds are, it will probably be back here in a few years when I inevitably have to recap it.
