I second that!

They are typically cheap an poor quality.

You want absolutely nothing to do with a Deer psu....ever.

I think we're going to have one coming next during August. Plenty of fun to go around.

I put my money on it not doing anywhere near it's rated capacity..
Scratch that, my money is on the unit dieing, hopefully in a spectacular fashion.. Blue flame, sparks, exploding caps, and jonny running for cover swearing never to review another Deer..

Eh. He's done similar before -- he'll be fine. I'm sure there will be flames, however.

avoid them as others have said.

I've already load tested a number of Deer/Allied 500W units while working as a consultant for a SI that still refuses to listen to me. Out of four units, I did not have a single one put out more than 350W. I even had one in a build blow up during burn in. It didn't really explode, but fizzled. After it was replaced with another Deer unit, it blew up after five minutes. This time with a spectactular explosion.

You should record video during testing of units you suspect might produce an entertaining light show..

Had two die in the 450w-500w roundup.
