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.

Dimensions of the metal box?

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.
