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'm imagining that one guy is making these, not a whole company.

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:
