The product, in the report: Antec EarthWatts EA-650 GREEN 650W ATX12V v2.3 SLI Ready CrossFire Certified 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply
I had a Antec EarthWatts EA-650 GREEN 650W computer power supply catch on fire. Luckily I was at the computer when smoke started coming out. Flames started coming out the back and I pulled the power plug. The power supply is at the bottom and back of the computer so it would have caught the drywall on fire if I was not there. I bought this power supply last spring when I built the computer. It was working fine until it started burning. I contacted the company but have not heard back. I also found others having the same problem:
