To be honest ive never seen a solid cap go bad, where as "wet" caps are constantly popping and leaking, i dont really think a country of origin makes much difference as collectively there not made in a certain way by the whole country are they... every manufacture has different methods

oh this made me laugh so hard
Every thread I've seen you post has made me laugh.
Your amazingly poor grammar unfortunately made it seem as if you were talking about the brand of your power supply.
So who are the manufacturers?
He probably doesn't know. It's ok, we'll see how good it is when he gets it up and running. But heavier = better? No... just no...
The Japanese tend to have more advanced manufacturing and quality control processes than the Chinese.

As long as whatever rubbish he's got got on fire, we'll all be happy.
I know I wouldn't want to stay in a house with Zzzac electrics.

Right anyway, initaily the first thing i did was take the power supplly apart... this was mainly to check the build quality and weather there were any bad caps or burn marks, being ebay its always good to check, but it was dust free and problem free. so i put it back together, firstly i will show and of topic picture of my system
since the retention bracket snapped ive had to redneck my system so the heat sink makes contact with the cpu.
okay so here's the power supply in all its Hp server glory (naked)
Now for those that dont know what a server psu thats hotswappable looks like here it is
on this particular power supply there are 8 blades and a 28pin logic connector, 4 blade's are for 12v ground and 4 are for 12v (approx 25amps per +12v blade) and a blade looks like a small bit of metal that latches round and makes connection with something on the caddy when plugged into the hotswap bay.
So with the pinout diagram of the 28pin contection on the back i got to work building an on switch, for this i used the motherboard end of an old usb conector (fitted the pins well) and cut of the un needed wires.
Now i got to work soldering the blades (white=12v+ and black=ground) although the solder looks close together its not touching and i will insulate with hot glue before using it.
now all that was left was to tidy all the cable's up, but i had no cable ties, so used cables and tied them :L
Any questions?
No?
Good

that look looks rather valid looking at the first picture in the next post

What the hell is this thread. 1000+ watts for a bedroom? Are you s******* me?? Just buy a decent 2.1 speaker/amp setup and be done. Watts doesn't equal quality.
My speakers at 75 watts will sounds 10x better than your 999999 watt amp

actually the whole job would have been allot easier if id had the appropriate wires, as to just get that fir i has to use 4 twin hook speakers cables per blade giving the solder a look of "all over the place" yet i may sort this out on another day, because i can actually solder pretty well in the right situation with the Wright stuff
OMG stop flaming, do you know hat servers are meant to run 100% on load almost all the time meaning these power supplies are built to last, and hell do you ever hear someone saying "my server power supply just blew up because it was cheaply produced out of a strange type of swiss cheese, i should have just gone with corsair"? No, this is no disposable CiT power supply!
yeah just a little i could nudge the dvd drive while a disks in and scratch the cd
of course it ism but the important part is im being carefull not to knock anything over or spill a drink on it

If your amp is that good it should have some kind of protection in it to stop it blowing and besides you should know it's limits.
NO, i dont want the power supply blowing up, i know the amps limits, and its not like there will constantly be 100amps going through it is it, it only pulls what it needs to..

Overkill and I'd rather trust a properly made power supply than your cowboy soldering lol
lol it is a properly mode power supply, yet adapted for an amp with my cowboy soldering
