    PCP&C units will still be branded as PCP&C, they will not change to OCZ branded power supplies.

    Will PCP&C's OEM make OCZ PSUs now, or will PCP&C just remain a separate entity?

    One quick Q.

    will you basically just be lab belling your PCP&C units as the utra-highend units and leave your other series as is?

    I mean no offense to OCz you guys had kickass units before and I'd have been happy to use one in my rig, but PCP&C had a better product. Doesn't matter now though since OCz basically just OWNED PCP&C

    Hehe so true, PCP&C rules! I agree it is a really really smart move!

    But please don't let them make the stupid hyped power supply's with 20x 5A @12Volt.. else we lost another great company.

    Cool...I haven't had a chance to edit posts in a while !!! NICE

    Though I have recommended silverstone many-a-time, I have never shown bias towards their units in price/wattage ranges where better offerings were available.

    They just happened to be a PSU maker that updates their product line faster than others, which I admire in a company.

    There's a reason I have a gamexstream 700w and a powerstream 520w at home, one is testament to their amazing community involvement, and the other: to the durability of their products.

    Yeah, I thought both companies use Seasonic PSU's?

    edit: Maybe that's just PCP&C

    Now I want OCZ to put out an official statement saying they are GOING To ENSURE the Continued HIGH QUALITY of the PCP&C Power Supplies...

    Remember a Great PSU that costs $150 is better than a good PSU that Costs $100
    Fast computers breed slow, lazy programmers
    The price of reliability is the pursuit of the utmost simplicity. It is a price which the very rich find most hard to pay.
