SilverStone Stash Tour

[Guest]

When SilverStone caught wind of my automotive USB adapter round-up, it volunteered one of its own along with assorted other samples. Over time, the extras snowballed to the point of being worthy of a stash tour.

Hello Daniel. I'm afraid these parts aren't all that interesting to me, personally. I respect others may feel different. Now, here's what I came up with given my level of interest. I think you should design a suspension bridge, and build it out of these parts. Once complete, see how much weight it can support before collapsing.

I hope you can appreciate my contribution to the comments section.

I never think to inspect PSUs for bad soldering, but you've just convinced me to start.

You never know what you'll find until you start looking. Doing so properly and (reasonably) safely however isn't within everyone's capabilities.

So now i have to pull apart every PSU I buy to do their QA checking for them?

Hopefully not, but it shows that even top-tier ODMs like Enhance in the Strider's case aren't exempt of occasional QA oversight. Can't draw a definitive conclusion on how common those assembly/QA issues are from a sample size of one.

I love the reversible USB A and B cables. Why has it taken this long for that to be done, considering it was so simple?
