Switched power supplies... in 2018.

I run inventory on my company. We still have 43 PC power supplies with the darned 127/220 V switches in the back. No fuse in sight, the cheapest China brand you can buy with money, and get a receipt/invoice for it.

I felt almost like doing a favor to the company, putting them all in 127V, roasting them in 220V, tossing into the bin, and claim we have zero left.
