Conclusions

This power supply is a bad Chinese joke. Outside it is beautiful, but inside it is nothing but a very low-end generic unit.

Its main problem is that it cannot deliver its labeled 550 W – in fact, not even the 350 W model can deliver its labeled power. We don’t have the proper equipment to find out how much power this unit can deliver, but based on its internal architecture, on the components used and on our experience, we speculate that this is really a 150 W power supply.

It is a pity, because the idea of a transparent power supply is really interesting. But if you are a serious case modder, how about buying a decent power supply and creating a transparent acrylic cover for it by yourself? After all, isn’t the whole idea of case modding doing things by ourselves to impress our friends?
