Orion(s)

[davesaudio]

I have use a few Orion PSUs by HEC/Compucase on some low end machines in the past.
Definitely low end but none have misbehaved, no complaints.

Saw the local dealer had some "bulk" Orions for cheap
So cheap I didn't have any misgivings about being deceived- just bought one for fun.

Well, the logo is different, the part number is different and its a single fan unit
vs duals fans for the HEC made units.

Google on the part number YH-480W suggest its really/also an EMAX,
perhaps made by these guys

I really didn't think the Orion name was valuable enough to "borrow"
but what do I know...

Is there a UL number on the label? The logo would be a backwards R and a U with an E##### number underneath.

HEC's usually have "E199442" on them.

Didn't see a UL, the CSA # also shows up on "KINGSTAR" (groan)

"FAKE" ORION on the inside.....

Notice the great job they did cleaning the flux/flux cleaner off the board?
(what size (pixels)should these pics be?, ..clearly too big-sorry)

I think I can count the number of atoms in the fan at that size :p

800x600 should be sufficient.

The "attach" function works well too.

EDIT: I resized and attached your pictures. Your "side2" pic was a dead link though so it's not included. Feel free to add that back if you wish.

As penance I offer apologies and "real HEC" Orions resized:

Heh, I think I see a 75-100 watt PSU hidden in those...

LOL, from my layman observation, the knock off actually looks more convincing compared to the real one. :D
