Default server (tower case) power supply?

I bought a box of computer parts at a garage sale. I guess it came
from a business: it had things like KVM switch and 8-port GbE routers.
There was a strange power supply. It was 550 W but had no 6-pin plugs
for graphics cards. It had 8 SATA connectors and 4 PATA molex connectors,
which were on very long cables, at least a metre.
I presume this was made specially for servers in tall tower cases.

Check the weight, too. I've seen relatively small server power
supplies that weigh two, three times heavier a counterpart to
non-industrial builds. And it might be worth two or three times the
price, and then some... worth tracking down if you're so lucky.


Yes it is rather heavy. I recall somebody posting in a blog many years
ago that weight was a good indicator of quality, as the cheap crap uses
lighter components.
And in reply to another reply, it was a bit battered, and the label was
gouged right where the model number is, so could not look it up.
