Preach on brother! Are you awake? You assume alot without knowing anything 
or what has been read or done by him.
Read the post next time before ranting a bunch of obvious bullshit and 
jerking off with yourself.

Seems like no $30.00 Power supplies to me. Everything is made in China 
anyway. Even the so called "good stuff".
