I love this sort of stuff, maybe someone elso could add there own favs to this thread.

A bit like those 500W (PMPO) pc speakers that have a 500Ma PSU.

Heh, this system is rated at 1.2kW:

All yours for £40! I don't think I could even buy a resistor to dissipate that power as heat for £40!

All about advertising power:

Now now, what about a space heater?

As for me, I can't say I've seen much bad stuff... worst is probably this car amp which had a 4A fuse, while claiming 250W....class A!

You could disipate that much power for about 208 microseconds into a quarter watt resistor!
