Some companies care more about how much their PSUs cost and some care more about quality. Regardless of where the actual unit comes from.
Please tell us what these "PSU experts" have said about this PSU (don't forget to quote a source). I for one am curious to know.
It's on this page. (I'd appreciate if you didn't rewind to earlier in that thread, that was the thread that made me actually take a look at the ATX specification, and I'm quite embarrassed that I asked that question)
Not much was said, but I took a snoop about on the 500B, and jonnyguru, one of few sources for non-bullshitted PSU reviews, said that one to be mediocre, at best. The fact that this one is cheaper, well, the only place you're going if you're going below "mediocre at best" is "not even mediocre" and "bad".
Really, if you're going to choose a PSU, something that I've seen said millions of times is "If jonnyguru doesn't approve it, don't buy it".
in a perfect world we would all be piles of sand with no ability to form coherent bodies of body
