nice modular PSU,
the packaging was pretty impressive for this thing, nice flashy box that actually was pretty no-nonsense. comes with a handy little bag with all your cables, making it more convenient to just use that to keep all your extra cables in, i just threw all my extra SATA cables in the bag as well. It also has a pretty nice red glow from its LED fan, which is pretty cool since i have a bottom PSU mount case and a 200mm blue led fan on top so it glows red on the bottom and blue on the top and in my case.
overall, a great PSU for the money, though i have heard some mixed reviews on OCZ and reliability, so far it hasnt given me a single problem.
UPDATE4/5/2011: Its been quite a few months, and this thing is still going strong, not a single problem even though I have had my computer on for probably 90% of the time since I first built it and have have had plenty of heavy gaming sessions. so far I am not seeing any problems with the reliability of OCZ products, It provides more than enough juice to keep my baby running at top condition and it never even breaks a sweat.
UPDATE9/4/2011: Now its been almost a year, and not a single problem. I am really starting to wonder why OCZ has such a bad image when it comes to reliability. the thing is still running like a champ when I almost never turn off my PC, the only reasons why I turn my PC off is to install updates, install certain programs, or to move it.

|Great Power Supply,
This is my first review of a product on Amazon. Here goes. I bought this along with a MSI 5770 Hawk video card to upgrade my HP HPE-137c PC. The PC never seem to work quite right after I bought it, nothing I could put my finger on but not right. I added this power supply, came with more cables than you can shake a stick at (great!) did not need to worry I did not get the right ones. Power supply was about a 1/2 inch bigger than the one that I was replacing so it was a little effort to get all the cables to fit, but stuffing them in the spare bay area for extra CD & hard drive got them in there. Replaced the Video Card and plugged in the cables and presto done. I booted the PC, not a sound, (quiet as a mouse). Logged in and got online with StarCraft II cranked it to the MAX and still very quiet. I then realized looking at my wireless connection that I had 4 out of 5 bars. Now, my PC is in the basement on the far end of the house from the Verizon Router, I had never got more than 2 bars before, this was fantastic! I had had some problems getting the sound to be just perfect, now it is. Hard drive seems to read faster and the access from the PS3 upstairs to the attached 1TB external USB drive flies with no more of those annoying DLNA errors. This is the best thing I have ever done to upgrade my PC and it was cheep and easy to do. Great Product so far!!!!!! Note, the fans from the MSI Hawk and the power supply face right at each other so the heat from the video card is dumped right through the power supply right out the back of the PC with the huge fan in this guy. On a minor note, when you turn the lights out in the room, the power supply is all lit up with bright red lights. If you have one of these PC’s and I know a lot of them were sold through SAM’s club. Go get this Power Supply if nothing else, it will fix this under powered but still very well priced PC. I know it made my day! Thanks OCZ!

|Only PSU with Red LED that is not junk,
So I was looking for PSU that will match my current DYI computer. I needed to had a red LED light, so far this is the only one that I could find apart from a “diablo” which is probably junk.
I know its “fatil1ty” or whatever, maybe a little expensive but hey, its works!
Pros:
-Red LED.
-Not Loud.
-Semi-modular
-Lots and lots of cables, for old 4 pin drives, floppy drives, sata, 4+4 CPU pin, and power cable looks not cheap.
-“sli” ready but you probably need 2 not so high wattage video cards.
– cool little bag to keep all your cables
Cons:
-THIS IS MEANT TO BE A TOP MOUNTED PSU, you will most likely have problems if you bottom mounted with cables not reaching or upside down connectors. I had to buy extensions for 24 pin motherboard cable, and 8 pin cpu.
-Red LED light could be brighter, like always dont expect to be as red as the picture.
-short cables, cables could be a little softer too.
Neutral
-Fatility branded, it probably its 15-20 dollars more just because of it.
My setup
-i7 2600k (oc to 4.4ghz)
-corsair H60 (2 fans)
-Asrock fatil1ty z68 gen 3
-crucial M4
-samsung DVD-RW
-coolmaster enforcer cases
-200mm fan, 2x 120mm
buy this PSU, if you really really want the RED LED light.
