Really.... The price, the name NOname, also look the caps onside, the quality of the wires, the better power units have better cables that are fatter, better connectors, while the junk PSUs have thinner cables like small rope, the connectors are cheap and they fit most of the time hard on some places. Also the fan will be some chinese, instead of Delta, Minebea, AVC, Sanyo Denki. No proper proper protection if the PSU fails, or over current protection.... Also i bet this PSu is from the light ones, and is not real 30A on +5V, for cheap power units will be more like 15-20 amps on the +5v. Or if by some lick it have 30 amsp on 5V (i reaaaaly doubt it) when you put something like Athlon XP 3200+ and Radeon x1950 Pro AGP (not to mention HD 3850 AGP) this unit will fail, maybe not from the start but short time after.....
For f**k sake just find some Delta PSU from HP or Compaq and compare it to your new junk PSU, and you will see for what im talking, or if you want i have here test Delta 300W PSU i will make pictures of it to show you for what im talking about. Also i have here junk PSUs from some computers some people did giveaway to me, and i found them inside, like JNC, KME and such trash, so is not hard for me to make comparison between junk unknown chinese PSU and some Delta, EnermaX or Aopen as they are good build as well.............

It was not made by Compaq nor ever used in a retail Compaq system?
Compaq is not the manufacturer of any of the things they have, they are just designer like HP is, DELL is, Compaq uses OEMs to manufacture all the parts for them, but all is branded as the Compaq name.
That is not the case with IBM, that did have their own things like HDDs, Keyboards, processors and others...
