Interesting is that UL code E176105 lookup at the Online Certification Directory returns Antec, Inc. as the manufacturer of the TPQ-850 TruePower Quattro 850W Power Supply. Though, Antec does not have a factory itself. They design their products from scratch and use other existing factories to make them.
