Everyone has an opinion but just because you believe that it should be viewed that way, does not make it so. I get what your saying and I agree to a point. A PSU is a PSU, right? The second you have to modify wiring, or any of the components of a peice of electronic equipment that was designed for a specific purpose in order to make it work for your personal desire it no longer meets the intended use prescribed by the manufacturer. Regardless of how simple you may think the modification is, or whether it is still being used to convert power or not. Yes the PSU still converts power, but computer server PSU's were not designed for charging batteries regardless of whether you or I think it will make no difference to its operation. We can split hairs all day long arguing back and forth trying to make each others point heard, but when you are dealing with the letter of the law in a law suit there has to be no doubt that whatever modification you might do meets the intended use of the manufacturer. I can garuntee you that no manufacturer will stand behind your changes to his design if burns down a house.

This particular disagreement reminds me of the "No helmet" laws in various states. Yes millions of motorcycle riders ride every single day without squashing their mellons, but there are still motorcycle deaths every week atributed to not wearing a helmet. You may use your home made rig every day to charge your Lipos and never ever have a problem with it, but if it does short circuit and burn your home down or even kill someone in the process you will be kicking yourself in the arse every single day after you lose everything in a fire caused by your insistance that it is OK. Just call me the Devil's advocate.
