are there new power supply on the market that work ok old retro pc hardware? What brands are still selling ?

im talking more about the athlon XP era where you needed an incredible amount of amps on the 5v.

Things have changed a lot in terms of power supply specifications, not to mention that cpus and videocards draw less now than back in the day.

The Startech ATXPOWER300 has 30A on the 5V rail and can be purchased new. I’ve got one on my test bench and it’s been working well for a couple years now. You can get them cheaper from other retailers.
