When boxes get decommissioned it's generally the entire thing. So you can pick up used power supplies as well. Or just buy new because even if it isn't ATX it's still a widely produced item that's used across multiple product lines.

The troublesome hardware is the stuff with custom backplanes and multiple daughterboards each hosting a node. Also AMD CPUs that lock themselves to a single motherboard.
