In the US a couple of years ago, Antec sold several of their early NeoPower (by Seasonic) power supplies with broken stickers, and the company acknowledged this and didn't void the warranties. > > I now feel better about replacing all the caps in my Antecs with > > Nichicons and Sanyos. > > Then why did one buy Antec in the first place? :) They were only $5-15 US, after rebate, sometimes including the case. Some of them included the infamous SmartPower II series, known for blowing caps in the +5Vstandby circuit. Here's one of them (Koshin), along with the extra-fat Sanyo that replaced it: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2569/4018203956_f703644672_m.jpg At least there was adequate room for it, unlike the other fat caps I had to install in the output rails.

> Could mean it's a refurbished unit, which doesn't tend to bother me. Here is the reply: Trouble Ticket ID: 204947 Description: RMA missing "Warranty Voided If Opened" sticker Comment By: Eric Chan ------------------------------------------------------- Comment: Hi Man-wai, Please bring it back to Altech and have them put the warranty seal back on for you. Otherwise, they might think you are the one who opened it. Please do this ASAP. Thank you Antec Support Team -- @~@ Might, Courage, Vision, SINCERITY. / v \ Simplicity is Beauty!
