as glc said those PSUs are junk... they are know to burst into flames.

If you power it up and you hear a squeal or whine shut it off immediately... It will get louder very rapidly then pop very loud with fireballs... i know first hand i've tested a few and put a slight load on them and they'll most always pop...
