They sell great gaming gear for cheap. I missed that $30 2000 dpi laser mouse they made.
I promise i'll find who made this keyboard lol.

Seasonic as a PSU brand now isn't as big as Corsair, though Corsair rebrands Seasonic PSU's. To compete with PCP&C, OCZ, Antec, TT, etc. better, Corsair can afford to lower prices. Why? because they're selling Seasonic stuff better than Seasonic itself could, Corsair is a big company (now).

various Antec, Corsair, PC Power & Cooling models are built by Seasonic. I think Antec is the worst in Quality when I say worst I mean in Seasonic terms not Power Supply, Antec Models are affordable so they don't request any high quality components. Corsair request the highest quality components even more so than Seasonic's own brand (see below) a while ago I replied in a thread on a budget build I think on what a Corsair 450VX can do, it literally has components from Power Supplies in the $200-300 range in a $60-80 Power Supply I quoted signatures (builds) from alot of forums of a 450VX powering a Quad Core, 9800GTX you name it basically any system that would make you recommend a standard Power Supply in the 500-750W range.
the Corsair 450VX is based off the Seasonic S12 II series what's the difference? higher quality capacitors, more heatsinks, etc.
- Christine
GameXstream, StealthXstream and ProXstream are the newer models.

But, OCZ is not the only company who rebrands this mouse, look at the new Trust mouse:

I like what they do. OCZ provide good pricing and from my personal experience, back up their products with proper service. I had an issue some time ago where I managed to corrpt the SPD on my RAM, OCZ sent me a replacement and even better SPD that worked better with my mobo:)
If they keep up this overall approach, I expect they will do well. LOL - I dont like the keyboard though (smugly hugs his G15).
