The OCZ is 2 times the price. Kinda hard to compare that way. I want a powersteam tho.

I would recommend the Fortron AX500-A instead... the 530w is very good, but the dual 12v rails and 120mm fan of the Blue Storm make it a little more up to date and relevant to 12v oriented systems. Certainly a better alternative to the OCZ units than the 530w. If that's not enough power, the Fortron 550w EPS units will outpower everything but the 600w OCZ (and even that one would have trouble matching them).

I would also suggest taking a look at Zippy - I have been very impressed with what I've seen from them. Every PSU they make is rated for full power at 40 degrees.
