It's a very old model 10+ years old, but in it's time was very very good. Probably would be just fine to use it. Go for it , well built , safe to use.

It was a good unit. Problem is how old it is. I think they stopped that range years ago, I found reviews from 2007. PSU components deteriorate with time and usage so it’s difficult to say what it’s health is. I also doubt it supports the modern low power states used by modern cpu’s.
