The PSU looks kinda cheap though. And it is! It's the original psu that came with the case i guess, although i did a full recap on the secondary part of the power supply.

over blown out electronics with the compressor for years and years i think even 1 crt once before never had any problems. i doubt i'll ever clean it if i can't fix the brightness issue.
