    Re: Teapo capacitor quality

    At least the capacitors that came with the PSU were OK to begin with, rather than fakes, pieces of wire.

    But I agree, I replace the lot too.

      What brand of caps were these?
      "We have offered them (the Arabs) a sensible way for so many years. But no, they wanted to fight. Fine! We gave them technology, the latest, the kind even Vietnam didn't have. They had double superiority in tanks and aircraft, triple in artillery, and in air defense and anti-tank weapons they had absolute supremacy. And what? Once again they were beaten. Once again they scrammed [sic]. Once again they screamed for us to come save them. Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone, 'Save me!' He demanded to send Soviet troops, and immediately! No! We are not going to fight for them."

        So because they fail in a home environment, they are bad?. Don't you just have a oem psu, like most of the psu's are?.....It's an average ok cap and not cheap or something. And what is your knowledge about electronics in general? Build and refurbished a lot?

          Yes, a home environment is not very stressful. If they can't handle that, they're pretty bad.
