How's OCZ these days for power supplies?

[pentium]

I was at NCIX yesterday and they had refurbished OCZ 1000W power supplies for an unrealistic $45 each.

They weighed enough to feel like they were 1000w too.
However, how is OCZ these days for power supply quality? Will this be something that will nuke on me six months down the road?

Well, they are not awesome like seasonic or corsair, but they are much better than most of them out there. I personally wouldn't hesitate using one in a PC of my own.

Depends. Their FSP built models perform within ATX spec, but just. Their newer High Power build models are decent performers, but just decent.

I think some of their newer units are sirfa, which are excellent, if hardware secrets is anything to go by (like http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/artic...ly-Review/1361)

I wouldn't use an FSP one, though, unless I could recap it and put some real heat sinks in there.
