This viewpoint really irritates me. Like the last Tony359 video [Let's fix this 𝗗𝗘𝗔𝗗 ATX power supply!] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n86eU5rsJds with that stupid (paraphrasing here): 'I was happily using this supply up to the moment it died, but now that Its fixed I wont touch it anymore!!1'. The F? :]

Well, besides that I got that PSU dead already, it's of pretty low quality. I've never cheaped out on power supplies, they're the heart of your system IMHO. Particularly back then it was easy to get cheap power supplies so no, it won't be the power supply of choice if I decided to build a retro system! 😀
But since I don't have a -5V adaptor, it's nice to have a working power supply which comes with -5V for some quick testing!

And definitely I wouldn't use it at 35A unless I had a fire extinguisher handy! 😀

Your unit isn't too shabby. CWT (Channel Well Tech) ISO platform, limiting factor is main transformer, rated at 33 size which tops out around 250-300W. I have the decked out version of it, branded ISO, model ISO-500PP, which has a 39 size transformer, according to its markings, alongside PFC.
