So that makes it a rebranded HEC/Compucase. HEC (Heroichi) used to make supplies
for Antec, then HEC tried their hand at retail marketing. Then,
Compucase (an outfit that makes computer cases) enters the picture.
I don't know if they bought HEC or HEC bought them.

I have one HEC here, but it is a number of years old. I didn't
have a problem with it. But a lot of time has passed, and
with corporate changes, sometimes a company goes from
making its own, to contracting and buying someone
else's stuff.

There are 26 HEC/Compucase models on Newegg right now, and you
can check out the reviews on them, and see if their quality
has kept up or not. Maybe you'll get lucky, and visually
identify your model.

Hello...you can find a lot of information on
PSU's by searching the UL number and finding out who the certificate
really belongs to, and all the units they make for multiple brands
