Default Marginal OEM Power Supply

Maybe when you pay for installed upgrades, you pay for an upgraded power
supply. Since the memory was added to this box with no further testing,
it's easy to imagine that boxes might be shipped with upgrades such that
the power supply is often marginal or inadequate.

Anybody have any insight?


Except for gamer machines, vendors expect the cover to stay on.


Nonsense. Any PC must be expected to have memory and/or PCI cards
added.
