Re: The Great Capacitor Showdown - Rubycon vs Panasonic vs Samxon
This is turning out to be a very interesting experiment, and it's not even begun yet. Run all the CPU fans at 5v (Zalman Fan Mate 2, $3 each), so as to warm up the CPUs and VRMs. If Trodas' sister's comp with Samxons is stable, highly OCd, in a fanless case, then you have to make an effort to stress these caps.

Re: For those that swear by KZG...
w/r/t the crown logo, I have seen many Trigem boards with dotted-logo caps. They are identical to known genuine Chemicons in all other respects.

Re: Let's play,"Guess that PSU!"
I encountered a very similar psu (NLXAK not NLXAA) in a p2/350 sys at my former school. Its fan had failed, and there was burning and badcaps. I replaced it with a fortron instead of wasting time/money recapping.

Re: KME PX-300w
Just my theory, it might have shorted out, and the intrinsic resistance been enough for it to flameout. I don't think polyester caps are low resistance.

Re: Have any TRUE experiences with sub-standard PSUs?
Wtf Maxxarcade, you live in the same county as I do! </offtopic>
Anyway, I ran an athlon-900 for 3 years on a generic sub-L&C quality ‘300w'. Any instability was caused solely by motherboard issues. I transferred it to a celeron-433 and it's still running strong. I don't have much experience with crap PSU since I like a quiet system, and crap PSUs aren't quiet.

Re: Fp-200pl
Nice. I assume this is an AT supply? I see you got a real digital camera, too.

Re: Killer Computer Cases Research
Yeah, if I got that case, I'd rip the door off. Nice chassis design though, I've seen that case irl.

Re: Jetway V266B with GSC
Great to see a member testing out Samxons! Post back in a few months to inform us how they hold up.

Re: Turbo-X DU09AL Case Review
Seek times are supposedly increased when drives are suspended.
I don't see how this could happen.

Re: Emachine Mess
Is it possible that a cap be bulged and have in-spec capacitance and ESR?

>I believe Akasa is built by Fortron/Source
Wrong. They're built by Enhance.

We're interested in seeing a pic of your Huntkey 300w, hkivan. Post a pic in the PSU pictorial thread.
