Introduction

We're back with another Fatal1ty product! This one is a power supply rather than a motherboard of course, but it's the same guy that signed off on it!

Fatal1ty was one of the first gamers to take things to the next level and go pro. I'm not entirely certainly what he does beyond media appearances and signing PSUs and motherboards these days, but regardless of that the general idea is that the stuff he endorses are the best computer bits you can get. The last Fatal1ty part I tested was certainly good!

OCZ says this about themselves:

Founded in 2002, San Jose, California-based OCZ Technology Group, Inc. has built on its expertise in high-speed memory to become a dominant player in the manufacturing and distribution of solid state drives (SSDs), a disruptive, game-changing technology that is replacing traditional rotating magnetic hard disk drives (HDDs). SSDs are faster, more reliable, run cooler, and use significantly less power than the HDDs used in the majority of computers today. In addition to SSD technology, OCZ also offers high performance components for computing devices and systems, including enterprise class power management products and industrial power accessories

OCZ has been making some rather nice power supplies as of late and this one looks like a show stealer, it has a nice big red LED fan (don't see that often) and individually sleeved cables for extra-snazzy looks. To top it off it is semi-modular as well!

We've seen a lot of OCZ stuff recently and it has all been quite good, hopefully this unit will continue that trend.
