There are a few OCZ products that are ok. But many aren't, My logic is why take a chance when Seasonic, Corsair, Kingwin and Antec make better psu units?

I've had to diagnose and repair quite a few pc's when I worked at a pc shop. Lots of people "cheap out" on power supplies.

Quite true, but I have several points about OCZ power supplies....do you trust Great Wall built stuff for longterm durability? (I know I keep seeing various OCZ power supplies in great numbers being sold as refurbs at almost all the online etailers and at Fry's and Microcenter....doesn't exactly give me the greatest confidence about longterm durability.)



Second, I hate the way almost all OCZ power supplies have the MOV left out of the transient filtering stage.....except for their Seasonic built units (some of the PCP&C units).


Don't get me wrong, OCZ puts their name on some decent performing units, but too many seem to fail (all the refurbs floating around out there) and cutting parts out of the filtering stage to save a few pennies just doesn't inspire me to buy one of theirs when other brands have better warranties, have better reputations for durability and longevity, and don't cut corners so badly.
