This thing was pulled out of an Obama 365 power suppy. 365 is the model name, not the maximum continuous output wattage. The real output capability of this PSU is a mystery.

I know. Their brand in Chinese is pronounced the same as Obama's Chinese name, which is similar to Obama.
Aobama (that's pinyin.) dark horse series power supplies. (I thought they did that on purpose..)

The combined total of all those rails adds up to 364.3W, so they were off by 0.7W. Oh and at the rating on the -5v rail (0A)
Can you get a picture of all the internals so we can see how gutless it is? (or send me one for reviewing )

they should add a fake filter, use rulycon caps, and glue some weights to the inside of the PSU to make it heaver. then slap a seasonic label on it...
