OCZ PowerStream Power Supply

Does anyone have these units? I'm thinking of getting the 520w version for my new A64 build. I like the rear adjustable pots on the unit. I don't think my ThermalTake Butterfly can handle it since it has low 12v rails (18a).

From what I've read and heard they seem ot be on the "good quality PSU list"
But do you really need adjustable voltage settings?
A good quality PSU shouldn't have great tolerances in the voltages advertised vs. true and therefor no need for adjusting.
Not saying it's bad,just is it neccessary?
But if the spec's,price,noise,cable mangament,color etc. meet your needs,there is no reason you shouldn't opt for it.

That's a nice psu, no doubt. As long as you don't mind blowin' an extra $50 for the adjustable rails and maybe 5a extra on the 5v rails go for it. If money matters, then check out the Enermax 460 whisper 2.

Supposed to be the best PSU's out there. I remember on the latest price guide i think AT said that for the 520 watt instead of 520 someone who was looking to make it sound good could easily have it rated at 700. Also has the BTX spec.

Sounds good. I've heard nothing but positive comments about this PSU so I already placed my order for one.

Got this PSU in along with my 74Gig Raptor. It's a solid and beautiful PSU. I love the mirror finish and the rails are stable as heck. I can't believe how fast my computer is now. Upgraded from an Athlon T-Bird to:

3400+ 1MB Clawhammer CG rev.
DFI Lanparty UT nF3 250Gb
1Gig OCZ PC3500 EB
Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro
WD 74Gig Raptor HD
OCZ PowerStream 520w PSU

Sorry, I'm just very happy with my new system!

I have heard nothing but good things about the OCZ PSU's... I might consider buying one later on if I have to.. they look fantastic.. and I know they put out what they claim.
