I have one of the same (I think) rebranded as a Seasonic PowerAngel. It
works quite well (my PC is now drawing ~130-140W, 200-220VA, PF=.61 ;).
They can do it because of the magic of microprocessors. Measure current
and voltage, multiply the instantaneous values and average for power.
Measure current and voltage, calculate RMS voltage and current and
multiply the result for VA. Divide the two and get PF. The math is quite
simple. I'm amazed there is a big enough market to get the price down to
the $30 range though.
