Sunnyvale, Calif.—May 25, 2007—OCZ today announced immediate plans to bring PC Power & Cooling into the OCZ Technology Group. As a worldwide leader in high performance computer hardware, OCZ acquired PC Power & Cooling to utilize their keen expertise in power management and take the organization to the next level. This compelling partnership between the two like-minded companies will create a powerful fusion of patented technologies, innovative, high quality PC components, and improved accessibility of premium solutions for customers worldwide. All parties, including the consumer, will benefit from the acquisition; the combined company is now situated to deliver ground-breaking power solutions to meet the growing demand for efficient, high performance components to power the computing needs of gaming, enthusiast, and mission-critical systems builders alike.

Comment: OCZ can bring PCP+C to a wider market, but I wonder how much the designs will be watered down.

IMHO OCZ should stop where they are. They are offering too many products at the moment with little/no involvement...just offering standard parts with an OCZ logo.

As long as they dont change anything!

Also, does the price go up for the "OCZ" logo? lol

I didn't see that one coming. I know that OCZ continue to expand, but with PC Power & Cooling...

It's a niche supplier that core business is industrial PSU's but also has an enthusiast market - in truth probably did not understand how to maximise this potential - OCZ know how should see raised enthusiast profile outside the 'elite' enthusiast market.

Will be interesting to see how tbis alters the market, i just hope the quality doesnt go down.

Agreed tbh. OCZ have gone down hill of late - offering too much none of which makes anyone go "wow omg". Maybe the merger will help improve the quality of their PSU's but really don't see things changing too much.
