Ahem, Hong Kong has no industry at all and quite a few power supplies 
sold here back in the day were actually from the States.

The only Hong Kong related power supplies are the 2themax ones. They 
have saved my hide once...only they had ATX form factor redundant power 
supplies to power a dual Opteron 242 box that boasted 10 disks, 2 scsi 
and 8 ide, the second lot being attached to a 3ware 7508 with 2GB worth 
of ECC-RAM. The thing ran (and is probably still running) for years 
without issues. Ah yes, those were the days when I dreamed of selling 
servers only to barely get the components needed to actually build 
something decent.

Thank you for subscribing to my blog. I will be here all week!
