:lol: 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. :lol2:

:lol2: I know. Their brand in Chinese is pronounced the same as Obama's Chinese name, which is similar to Obama. :lol:

The combined total of all those rails adds up to 364.3W, so they were off by 0.7W. Oh and :lol: 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 :D)

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... :lol:
