Let the PSU testing fun begin ;)

Look what arrived a couple of days ago...





Yep a 5KG industrial Co2 fire extinguisher

Soo....what crappy PSU's shall I try and blow up lads?

 

[sprento]

I got my hands on 4 HP Epc's from my mates work (about 7 years old) Right in the mood for frying something too !

You can make dice using them iirc...

Fire,fire,fire..........errr ......I'll get my coat.....

 

[AntiHeroUK]

Must get myself a new play toy too

HAHA, is it a case of turning the extinguisher upside down like a giant can of compressed air

Hmm this is going to be fun

Just to shout some random brands:

- Sweex

- Trust (especially curious about the 'dual fan' series )

- Raptoxx

- LC Power

- Huntkey (might actually be good)

Finding some old OEM cases w/ psu would work too. And I'm sure a few other forum members own(ed) killed hardware for which they want justice

Make sure to protect your testing equipment properly and have a camera rolling
