It's just that Leadman/Powmax is one of those PSU brands that I would suggest to avoid at all costs. Same goes for the Sun Pro KY-480ATX (i.e. Raidmax RX-380K). These, IMO, are some of the crappiest PSUs made. They many not look like it, but there is just something seriously wrong with their designs, because they blow up a lot more often than other cheap PSUs I've seen. Even a low-end L&C and CWT ISO are better than that, because at least you can rework them. Leadman/Powmax and low-end Sun Pro: you just can't make them better, even if you do put good parts in them. Let's see if we can keep pushing our Pentium 4 PCs until 2020 - that would be sweet!
),replaced the choke on the AC side (or transformer,it's labeled EE-25 TUV though.) Let's see if we can keep pushing our Pentium 4 PCs until 2020 - that would be sweet! ) and I have a feeling the latter (120mm 400W Allied) is a temperature-controlled Globe fan. In any case, both are two of the best Deer PSUs I've had (compared to the crappy ANS and JNC PSUs,and a few of the Premier PSUs). Dunno where the Allied comes from,but I know for sure the Modecom is a case pull,since it has a sticker saying " Modecom Harry Black on the rear,somewhere between the fan and the ON/OFF switch.
),TT2194 primary switching transistors (which are Sanyo's 13009 equivalent) for my Allied (which for some uber-stupid reason came with 13007s,everything else is beefy 
),30A 40V rectifiers (which I still can't decide which Premier to install them in - the DR-B300ATX? Or the LC-B400ATX?),and some 470uF 200v YC primaries (which I have doubts are actually 470uF - I'd actually go with Fuhjyyu LP on this but whatever.) and a fancy black ATX cable.
... but I'm still not completely wrong either: Leadman are still crappy power supplies 
. The fact that the AC filter PCB on the receptacle was touching the primary heatsink just shows how badly Leadman designed this unit. )
