Heads up, it looks like fake components are making the rounds again. This time around the folks at Hardware Secrets found cement in a PSU purchased for review. Hit the link for the full details.
This was done to deceive users in two ways. First, people may assume that this unit has a passive PFC circuit, which is not the case. Second, with a piece of cement inside the unit, it is heavier, and a lot of users when buying entry-level power supplies tend to assume that heavier models are better, as they have more components and bigger heatsinks.
