Default power supply question

They are supposed to be designed for continuous duty too.


Simple, if you sell power supplies to Dell, and they burst into flames
and kill a family. Dell will come after you and see to it that you and
your entire family disappear.

On the other hand, if you sell direct to the consumer and someone dies.
Nobody but the immediate family gives a ****.
