against every posts, the adaptor mentioned in the top posts does 2 BIG violations:

1. Allows to use Appliances that NEED grounding without a ground connection

2. and even worse:
Allowes to connect loads up to 16A on a Euro plug thats certified for 2,5 A !!!!!!!

no speaking over this, no excuses, thats a NO NO NO.

i've seen the slotcard steering too. what do they think???
Some guy will unmount this card in use and touch another card with the soldering pins of the 230V terminals. and BOOM. another diy worker that trusted stuff made by idiots!

edit: seems like there's a plastic cover over the soldering parts.
anyways, there is no touch protection at the terminal screws, at the fuse and at the slotplate socket.
and this one violates the protection classes 1 and 3 the PC is normally made, grounded metal casing for the psu and safety low voltage for all accessable hardware.
over all: nothing good. so many casemodders and pc diy workers out there that dont have a clue on such things
