Hey guys, thinking about asking about this over at badcaps as well, but think I'll start here. I work in IT for a moderate size hospital (~2000 users). I've been here since last summer, and we've been working on upgrading a lot of old computers to new Windows 7 ones. They are a mix of Dell Optiplex 390, 3010, and now 3020 SFFs (depending on when they were purchased). I was looking at one tonight and took a look in the vent with a flash light, and was able to see it is made by Lite-On, looks like the secondary caps are SamXon, and the primary filter cap is an Elite cap. It is fan cooled, but the exhaust coming out of this little PSU is pretty warm. I know OkW was saying good OEMs can get good life out of even questionable caps, but how far does that extend?
How much I wonder, can be done when you are dealing with a size constraint (SFF, PSU is very long and narrow) and questionable caps. I know Lite-On is a huge manufacturer of Power supplies, but it seems like they stick to OE stuff and don't really seem to make anything you'd find off the shelf like Delta, or Chicony.
I have flashbacks to the days of the GX620 power supply plague, and shudder.
