Bye bye OCZ...

It's a shame, but one of there own doing as far as I am concerned.
I did use OCZ allot when I first started getting in to building my own gaming pc's but I won't touch them now.
The ram that I bought was always OCZ, as I had major issues with Corsair ram back in the day and swore I wouldn't use them again, until they got better which has happened, but OCZ ram never gave me any issues at all and would overclock quite nicely as well.
I never personally used a OCZ SSD, as the first one I bought was a Corsair 60Gb which I then replaced with a 120Gb, and then when I needed to replace that it was with some Corsair Force 3 120Gb drives, because of the issues I had seen about OCZ and there drives failing.
Two members of the clan I am in both run OCZ SSD's and they have not had any issues with them, but they both say that they are slow compared to my Corsair one, but that is hard to judge because they both have different hardware, and there cpu's are not overclocked like mine.
I used OCZ as well for a few PSU's and they were fine, but then I had one that went bang after 8 months and it took out practically everything else in the PC, even though it was not supposed to, had all the bit's RMA'd and tried another OCZ PSU which was DOA, and the company where I bought it from would not issue a refund or let me change it for a different brand, so I ended up going through about 3 or 4, in the space of 2 days at which point they swapped it for a Thermaltake one.
I now use Coolermaster for my PSU and a cheap and nasty XFX one in my dad's pc and both have been running perfectly fine for over 2 years, and I will only be changing them for Corsair ones when they need to be changed.
I do feel sorry for the staff working at OCZ and hope that the companies currently looking in to taking over OCZ keep the majority of them on the payroll, but it's going to take allot of work to repair the damaged reputation that OCZ has currently got.

1 thing I do not understand though, Surely the fatties and handshakers at the top knew the companies reputation was at gutter level and not worth anything but fresh turd and could of done something about it OR they wanted to sell off OCZ and this was the easiest route ?

It was kind of obvious that the company was facing bankruptcy for some time now. Also not to mention getting into hot water for (nearly) not filing their financial results a few quarters back.
They'll all get a golden parachute anyway, don't worry.
