X-Force 200 PSU (Use at own risk)
Deodand2014:
Poor ventilation, misuse of 'Shenzen market' switchmode power supplies, improper earthing, bypassed fuses, and the list goes on...
Whales:
"none of the supplies are grounded"
Not through their chassis? The big straps are not copper?
Also are the output terminals steel threaded rod/bolts?
I was really disappointed that I couldn't find these for sale. Anyone found any examples under another name?

I've found lots of differing opinions on X-force items. Things are all over the place, some comments read like personal warfare, others read as though X-force is a company that participates in HAM events. Perhaps it's a UltraFire situation where multiple people have taken the name? Not sure.
I might be right about this being a small or one-man company: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTQv7Yu_X1mzi7jHPhMF8ZQ/videos?disable_polymer=1
Obligatory: please don't bandwagon and throw hate at this person. Find links to the stuff, discuss it for its problems/merits; but don't attack the individual. Be better than that, please.

Looking further it does seem some things are strange here. On one hand we have some videos by a guy that seems to care and know what he's doing; having to repair badly modded transmitters and showing a good sense of humour.
Opposing that we have the PSU shown at the start of this thread. X-Force's website lists info about competitions and being wary of fakes. Perhaps we have some unfriendly disputes or competition involved? Look at video replies like this:
