Hopefully OCZ will once again use quality parts and power management techniques.
Not the other way around since PC Power and Cooling is da best
Only 1 series is modular and the other one isnt.
I believe there will still be OCZ and PC Power and Cooling PSUs out there, but they will both be using similar techology and parts.
Hopefully, they go with PC Power and Coolings
ocz's distribution/marketing/sales channels will be used to sell the pcp&c products.
of course they will use their engineering resources
OCZ is definitely showing its focus is entirely dollar based.
Ever since OCZ started branching out into every product group, and pumping out new lines of memory monthly, they have been going downhill in terms of being an enthusiast company.
Now they are buying out competitors.
And now that the next best has been eliminated, they no longer need to put as much effort into beating pcpc.
OCZ has had high end stuff, but it was never in the same ballpark as PC&C
I appreciate your feedback and comments.
Let me ensure you that we are not going to make any changes to the PC Power & Cooling lineup at all.
The OCZ PSU lineup will also continue to exist and of course benefit from the quality of PCP & C units.
Now we can offer the complete range of solutions from mainstream to
commercial.
PC Power PSU’s
Premium ‐Enthusiasts, Industrial, Customized Solutions, high end Si’s, Server class and mission critical, Dell upgrades)
OCZ PSU’s
(Mainstream – Gamers, modders, enthusiasts, system builders)

BTW, Love your guys' memory :)
