Yep. The more accurate term has always been SSI EPS12V PSU, but they were sometimes marketed (erroneously) as a Xeon PSU.
I purchased an Antec True550EPS12V in anticipation for an upgrade to a Xeon box that never happened. After two failures (one rather spectacular), it's now running a modern 24-pin board. I'm just glad the TruePower Trios are made by SeaSonic now. My last RMA was returned as a TP Trio 550. :) I find it rather interesting that neither Antec nor PCP&C make their own supplies...

I ask because I am using two Xeon PS, on a PCP&C on a Xeon, and another Antec 550 Xeon PS on a standard ATX using an adaptor. So are my Xeon PS now the standard 24 pin PS?
