first, thanks for the review Jim, and now, coments: it looks pretty good for a 500w psu, the temps of it aren't bad, it does it job well, its silent, and isnt expensive at all, maybe this is another one for me to chose? im still having trouble at choosing 500w modular psu's. i think i still have the corsair as my top.
Anyways, great review man

Nice review 
It's certainly interesting to see another of the OCZ lower budget series, the StealthXstream were already very interesting.
I don't think it can compete with the cooler master m520 when it's about price though. The ModXstream retails for €65.- in the Netherlands while me m520 is about €7-8 cheaper. May not sound like a lot but most of the time these psu's are used in low budget builds where every penny counts.
I think it would be a good idea to make three PSU roundups. For low (400w-), mid (400-700w) and high (700w+) units. That way it's easy to compare the reviewed supplies
To be continued, have to eat now

This looks really decent, been toying with the idea of going modular when I upgrade my backup rig at easter, and the price had put me off but £50 is a small price to pay for something that performs well and could replace my Corsair in the event of an emergency. Good review, with a nice decisive conclusion

It is a very nice PSU, it feels very solid and the sleeving is nice. You certainly wont be dissapointed if you buy one!
These roundups do not neccessarily have to be a seperately written article but could also be a summary of all reviews maybe in the form of a table.name='monkey7' said:I think it would be a good idea to make three PSU roundups.

Yeah once the test setup is complete we will be creating a big table of all future tested PSU's in order of performance

LOL, good luck with that.... I tried it with a 4870 (my comp only needed 220 watts at idle) and it POP'd within 2 min.
This is only the second PS (out of hundreds) that has ever failed like this on me.
The heatsink is very small and the paint/coating is poor (easily scratched)
