Recapped SE PSU vs new?
Posted by: Johnnya101 on 2019-01-19 08:42:36
I had to replace a faulty PSU in my SE/30 recently with a non recapped original. I'm wondering how a recapped original compares with a new atx or that thing a guy in Japan makes (artmix?)?

I just would want something solid and reliable. Won't be used 24/7. Maybe a couple times a week at the most for an hour.

I’d say which ever you prefer. I usually prefer to recap the originals and use those. I personally have had very good luck with recapped original PSUs so far.

Depends on your desire for authenticity. If you want to keep it authentic, recap. If you don't care, get a new one.

Thank you. Guess Ill go the recap route then.
