Clean and in good cosmetic condition. Removed from a high profile state lab during an upgrade but we were unable to locate the power supply.
Tech notes from the laboratory showed that the unit was functional at the time of the upgrade, however we are unable to independantly test onsite without the propietary PSU.
Comes as shown.
