Antec ATX Power Supply Unit (PSU)

This is an internal Antec ATX power supply unit installed within a computer chassis. The unit features a standard rectangular matte silver-colored galvanized steel housing. A defining aesthetic and functional feature is the top-mounted cooling fan, which is protected by a distinctive gold-plated concentric wire fan grill secured with four Phillips-head screws. On the side of the metal casing, a white paper certification label is visible, containing a series of Quality Assurance (QA) inspection stamps including labels for 'APT', 'PIN-TEST', 'HI-POT', 'GROUND', and 'ATT', each marked with blue ink stamps (e.g., B02, B04). The rear of the unit includes a honeycomb-style hexagonal ventilation mesh for exhaust. Given the presence of traditional PCI slots on the adjacent motherboard and the specific gold-grill design common in the early-to-mid 2000s, this unit likely dates to the TruePower or early EarthWatts era. The condition appears fair with some visible dust accumulation on the fan grill and internal components, though the casing lacks significant physical damage or oxidation. Multi-colored insulated wiring (yellow, red, black) is visible emerging from the unit, indicating standard ATX cable management of that period.
