As I have previously written, I retired a few years ago. No, I
didn't write down a master list of supplies with the same cases
(a fact that you are relying on for your argument), but my repair
department came upon them on a daily basis. (Being one of the few
sites that would repair *any* brand PSU, or even fit our PSU "guts"
into a proprietary PSU case, I saw dozens of different brand PSUs.)
So, be smug with your 12 or so different cases. In the real world,
what I am saying is correct. I think you know that.
I still suggest that what you think you know about supplies
is not accurate. Maybe 15 years ago, not today or the past
few years.
Two cases that look passingly similar do still have
difference enough that they are NOT the exact same casing
used by multiple manufacturers. I've been doing this for a
long time and 12 brands I'd mentioned is but a drop in the
bucket- It counts not any systems I've worked in, worked on,
sold, or otherwise encountered in person, letalone online
pictures. Go out and see for yourself if you don't believe,
it is extremely uncommon if not unheard of to use the
_exact_ same casing for different manufacturer products.
Now if we were talking about different labels, including 3rd
party relablers from same actual manufacturer that would be
a different story, but then those are the same supply save
for a few cosmetic add-ons.
