I'm with Frank on the price point. At $460, it darn well better be good. :)
I've heard that people like the z4000 and that it's a solid performer. However, not personally owning one, and looking at it, I have to ask myself how much of that $460 goes to the pretty case and controls? I'm admittedly a bit of a minimalist and a pair of simple handheld PWM throttles suit my needs fine. (and is waaaay cheaper than $460).
Just my $0.02

I do have to mention though, that that power supply was almost certainly way more then $100 new.
Surplus is fun, if you know what you are doing.
