David,

I have worked with several dozen enlight cases.  Everyone in the
last year has a power supply with a big sticker on it showing the
Enlight Corporation name on it.  If you bought this from a retailer
or wholesaler, I would think someone had replaced the power
supply before selling it to you.

Even the two replacement power supplies I have on the self here
have the Enlight sticker on them...

It could be a case that was returned for a bad power supply and it
was swapped out for a cheap one, then resold to you as new.
I would be suspicious.
