Honest technical facts are always desired. But not by you. So please leave if you do not have anything to contribute. Emotions are not relevant in a technical discussion. Provided were facts for...

Why make assumptions on what was never stated? What you feel is not relevant to anyone - and has no logical purpose posted in a technical discussion.

To contain the many functions required in any supply (even 40 years ago) means its retail price starts at $60. To sell a supply at less price and sometimes higher profit, many manufacturers 'forget'...

Power supply - 300 or 600 watts - work just as hard. Most computers hardly consume more than 200 watts. So we add more than sufficient margin with a 350 watt supply. Now a standard 350 watt supply...

His existing protector is the same protector circuit found in a UPS. If you have doubts, then view the manufacturer's specs for both. Both have the same spec numbers.
