good new for us. at least the cost to own one of their psu LOGICALLY will be lower seen that OCZ is more toward mainstream and enthusiast.

, a very good news indeed, the exotic (PC P&C) became mainstream

it will become OCZ's premium product line.

price..... probably WILL NOT DROP.

whahahahaha.

Any LOGICAL reason why u said that?

cost of operation and marketing reduce, wider distribution, more customer base, etc

btw, does OCZ has any distro here?

ocz will still ocz psu, pcp&c psu will still be pcp&c psu

as wat i read from ocz representative

IMO, I don't think that will be a reason for OCZ lowering the price for PCP&C PSU's since the PCP&C PSU's prices are very expensive because of their parts & built quality.

The same with what powerslide said, PCP&C will still be PCP&C.
It's just a rebranding.

PC Power & Cooling is not gone. Aquiring a company doesn't mean revamping the whole management. Or else why don't you see AMD X2900XT? Why is there still Alienware and they still provide high end systems?

So price probably won't be affected.

i believe there was an article on xbitlabs or anandtech before about PSUs.. can't remember which one but confirm it's one of those hardware review sites..
they said that PSU is actually one of the cheapest part to manufacture and have the highest profit margin. Most if not all PSUs on the market today are sourced from China where the production cost of the PSU is ridiculously low. Price is then jacked up to earn the huge profit margin.

New update.
There is still PCP&C.
And their PSU is still there, no change in names.

It's just that PCP&C is now under new management of OCZ.
That's all.

So basically, PCP&C is still PCP&C.
There's no such things as "PCP& Is No More"

Just like Alienware bought by Dell and VooDooPC by HP. still operating with separated management

Yeah.
So the result, PCP&C won't reduce the price.
