Cool, soon I won't even need a furnace in my house, just a 2KW PSU a quad core Intel chip, two 8800s in SLI.

I'm Glad to see OCZ diversifying but I'd like to see the industry be a little more environmentally friendly and ease up on the electricity use.

Edit: Is it just me or does that breakout box on the PSU remind anyone else of Orac3?

Is it just me, or does the OCZ PSU look like it uses the exact same style of modular connections as a hiper type r?

Cthippo · 9th Jan 2007, 04:33

That PSU looks like it would be fun in a custom case, and yes, it does look very Orac.

the mouse looks "mildly" intersting, but i doubt it will be revolutionary. The memory on the other hand.......

Pretty neat stuff. I agree with Woodstock - not sure about the mouse. Seems many companies are releasing token "mice" as a means to show their diversity. In this case it might just be a stiff reminder of what OCZ specialize in -- memory

However some of the other stuff -- water cooling for memory. external 2kw power supplies... I thought this was the age where technology was shrinking, not getting bigger..?

Is it me of does that mouse look quite a bit like the Logitech's ?

DougEdey · 9th Jan 2007, 09:20

Whats that orange stripe on the mice? Battery indicator or button?

Those fins on the ram look deadly as, I can picture some gorgeous lighting mods on them!

quick question on the water cooled ram, i haven't heard that much about it (mainly because of the holidays), is it only supplied with the kit of ram or as an add on as well

OCZ has been my favorite brand from years,very innovative stuff always.I love that waterblock and that psu is a great idea.The modular box is so small that you can put it anywhere in your case and leave the big psu down your desk or elsewhere.
I want to see them making custom cases.As you know OCZ you wouldnt get anything lower than Lian li quallity.

Most mice look the same.

am I the only one that notices the inherent problems in an "Aluminum-Copper hybrid RAM waterblock"?

Umm, copper+aluminum+water+compters=DISASTER. Everything else looks sweet. It's interesting to see all the out-of-the-box (literally) innovations lately. External video cards, PSUs, what's next? CPUs?

According to Legit Reviews the pins are made of silver, which sounds cool, but is it true?

That was my first thought too.

IIRC that's only if both the copper and aluminium are both in the water. The heatsink might use the copper to conduct the heat away from the RAM, the aluminium is attached to the copper and holds the water so the copper isn't in contact with the water. I think this would probably be cheaper than an all-copper heatsink. Of course I could be completely wrong.

Speaking of Logitech, are they showing off any new tech this year?
