You know, I'm all for things that are better for the environment, but these regulations coming out of the EU are just plain dumb. Trace elements of lead in the casing of power supplies is such a non-threat their attempt to regulate such things is just plain dumb and a waste of time. These regulators and goverment officials over there should spend more time worrying about feeding those who are hungry in their own countries and abroad.
In regards to the power supply, I do take some issue with the fact that FPS appeared to skimp with higher gauge wire, but the unit appears to be a pretty solid little device. I do applaud FPS for developing something with the environment in mind first, but I'm pretty well convinced they do so more with the intention of winning over the boat loads of ignorant fools who actually think they are doing the world much better buy choosing this Power Supply over something else.
Kind of thinking about it, I bet if people actually ate better food, their farts would emit cleaner gasses and over the span of their lives, that would probably make a 100X better impact on the environment than choosing this PSU over any of the others that are currently on the market. So maybe the EU should regulate what people eat.
Thank God the USA hasn't fallen to such foolishness.......yet......
