1. I would buy one. Not openended. I will buy one if I need one.
2. Not can, all companies DO make crap components. Does not matter the company, the time period, or the price. There is no company, be it CWT, Seasonic, Dell, Exxon, or any company you want to substitute in here. They all make junk, and it is always luck of the draw.
Please nobody take this guys word for anything without looking it up.
