Default I'd like to see a JonnyGURU review of this...

Interesting little power supply in this new LAN case. I wonder how it'd hold up to the rigors of a GURU review.

Exactly, someone on another site was praising it because it was made by FSP and had PFC. I'm like ?

FSP/Sparkle does make decent PSU's though. I was being a little sarcastic since you consider the Seasonic M12 and the 600w Bequiet mediocre.

But FSP also makes quite a bit of junk, I've seen a few InWin models that never should have left the line.

As far as I know - InWin are...InWin, not FSP They used to put FSP build PSUs in some of their cases, but this doesn't mean, that InWin PSUs are made by FSP.

Well, I have a couple dead PSUs in the closet, they say InWin but the UL search comes back FSP and they have a part number beginning with FSP. The last 20 or 30 InWin cases I've purchased have come with "Power Man" supplies and they are also FSP. *shrug*

Dead PSUs can be the source of quite a bit of parts for a variety of projects including modding.

Alright, these are probably FSP units with a sticker on them saying InWin Here are some InWin units, that are not FSP - http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/oth...nwin-psu2.html

And, yes, not ALL of the FSP stuff is ok, but I tend to agree that they do make decent power supplies
