Well it was worth a shot anyways. There is no useful information at all?

Well the Gold units are characterized by a brushed brass finish on the case
and the older units were all a flat black finish. It is interesting to notice though
that the power connector to the motherboard on the older units has a heavier
guage wires than the Gold units. I swapped the cables on my Gold unit because
the original had a burnt mark around the red wire.

Anyways does anyone know how to check the power supplies to see if they
still output at 80 watts?
