I know that both the powerstream and modstream are bigger then regular PSUs and I read a review of a new case I'm considering and it said the powerstream didn't fit so I'm wondering if the modstream is any smaller then the powerstream.

Some Zippys and the PCP&C 850 (really the same thing) are much deeper than normal - something like 9 inches!

That is exactly what the OCZ 600 is....It is so deep it is hard to get the cables to turn from hitting the back of the cd-rom drive.....My enermax was about 2 inches at least smaller in depth then the 600 power stream.....I think the modstream is less deep as the hard plud inserts wont bend as freely and if it was deeper this could be an issue in some cases...I am running a Chemming server type case and it is tight.....

OCZ must be having Zippy OEM them - just like PCP&C. for their 850. My Berserker's a big girl, she can handle them... ;)
