One thing that's different about that supply, is the
main cable loom exits through a hole in the bottom of
the supply. Most retail supplies are set up for ATX
rather than BTX, and the loom comes out the back.
That means the main cable is going to have to curve
around the bottom of the supply before plugging into
the main connector on the motherboard.
The SATA power looks a bit different than on a retail
supply. The two SATA power connectors are closer together
than normal, at the end of the cable.
I don't think a generic replacement, is going to
look as "clean" as the setup looks right now.
