5 out of 5 eggsWorks well

Pros: Looks sweet with its mirror finish, modular design, sleeved cabling, large fan, powered on perfectly fine

Cons: almost too big; very tight fit in my small case but I managed just fine.

5 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Stable power across all the rails. The finish of the casing is nice and the LED fan adds a nice touch. Quietest PSU I have ever owned.

Cons: The pre-sleeved cables are a bit stiff, so hiding wires becomes a bit of a challenge, but it can be done.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat buy

Pros: Exellent looks. The finish is incredible. It's modular. There's only one fan, so it's quiet, and even though it only has this one fan, it runs pretty cool.

Cons: The cables are somewhat stiff, but nothing too bad.

Other Thoughts: I've had this for over a year, and no problems. Would buy again.

4 out of 5 eggsQuality Product

Pros: Great looks. The finish on the casing is mirror-like. The 26 Amps on the +12V rail will satisfy even the most power-hungry video cards. Modular design reduces cable clutter. 120mm fan moves a ton of air silently. And the UV-reactive cables are awesome.

Cons: The cables are extremely stiff. It's nearly impossible to bend some of them. You can find yourself fighting them all the way.

Other Thoughts: The quality of the PSU was excellent. Everything from the artwork on the box, to the mirror finish on the casing shows that OCZ takes great pride in their products. Considering that it is only 450 Watts, the fact that it can generate 26 Amps on the +12V rail is outstanding. If it weren't for those dang cables, I would have given it a 5/5. This (or it's 520W brother) is a must-have for anyone with a power-hogging Crossfire or SLI setup.

5 out of 5 eggsSatisfied enough to review after 1 day

Pros: Lights, big fan, several connectors.
32amp on the 12+ maximum. Its rated for 26 or 28. Good stuff.

Looks great in my CM Stacker with the light

Cons: None so far

Other Thoughts: I'm using this as a secondary PSU to go along with my Antec 480 that has 16amp on the 12+. Now I definately have enough power for my evil Prescott CPU.

4 out of 5 eggsModstream 450

Pros: Solid power supply. Well built with good wire options for different applications. Nice case finish and 120mm fan keeps noise to a minimum. 3-year PowerSwap program gets you a replacement unit as soon as possible if yours goes down.

Cons: Questionable lifespan. My Modstream 450 died after four months. The fact that so many reported theirs dying might be something to consider if you're thinking about buying this.

Other Thoughts: Even with the quick death, I'd still buy OCZ products. I also have a PowerStream 520 in my other computer and that's still chugging away. PowerSwap program was hassle-free to deal with and gives you 2 options for getting your replacement. You can send them yours and they'll ship out your replacement in 24-48 hours of receiving it, or you can give them a credit card number and they'll advance ship your replacement that day. You then have 2 weeks to send in your broken unit or they'll charge you for it.

4 out of 5 eggsGood Supply, So-so cabling

Pros: Great looks, strong 12v rail, runs cool & quiet

Cons: The modular cables are not very flexible, especially getting the 12v 4-pin to reach behind my CPU heatsink. One of the SATA cables broke trying to stretch behind my drives in a super lanboy.

Other Thoughts: Overall it's a great supply, but the inflexible cables were tough to manage in a smaller case.

3 out of 5 eggsQuestionable Quality

Pros: Beautiful Looks. Solid Construction.
Excellent Packaging.

Cons: Not sure if there are any normally. But in my case I have to report a bad PCI-E rail. nVidia would complain that the video card was not getting enough V.

Other Thoughts: RMA'd and not sure if I'm going to replace with same. Still looking.
