I was going to do a little research and sorting, and then examine what I had left more thoroughly. The Zumax is a featherweight so I will probably take the cables, if they aren't too thin, and connectors.
Edit: That's annoying, the Zumax has (it says) 30A on the 5V rail. 🙁 It's heavier than I remembered. Well, I'll take it apart, maybe I can do a slow amateur circuit analysis. Mind you, if I'm going to build from scratch I don't really need to do that, but I might squeeze some bits into my grey matter. At first glance it looks pretty skint. Looks like an old cheap radio in there.
EditEdit: OMG the fuse is wrong, there's no filtering on the 12V rail, a third of the design components seem to be missing (including part of the main filtering) - I don't mean they were removed, I mean it was *designed* half okay and then built out of spit and bailing wire. I *might* re-use the case, fans, and cables for one of my "stuff a completely new set of guts in it" project, because, well, the holes seem mostly in the right places.
The Mitac is matched with the original motherboard. I might recap it or more if that mobo is going to see use. It's aK6-2 233 IIRC. Funky layout, and of course the three power connectors.
The Codegen - like I say, it might be worth a refit. I haven't had it apart yet.
The Power Man is fairly hefty, but I haven't done any research on it. A few minutes looking suggests it's an In-Win, it's decent but mid-tier at best, Active PFC, OCP, but low efficiency at higher power levels and the ventilation is not great so caps up against the side tend to age prematurely.
I took photos of and cataloged 5 AT (or pseudo), 26 ATX, and 6 SFX PSUs, which is most of what I have not in cases. There is a theoretically great PC Power & Cooling PSU that I think killed a system, so until I can seriously load test it it's on the outs. I have about 30 in cases, some OEM, some commercial.
Yeah it's pretty ridiculous.
*Too* *many* *things*!
