Conclusion:

In addition to performing very well when it comes to the line voltages being close to their ideals and were stable while testing, the EliteXStream was impeccably quiet. Aside from the lack of EPS12V support, the EliteXStream had given us no problems during testing. This power supply may not be as attractive when it comes to the exterior look, but on the inside it's a reliable unit we have been testing for the past several weeks and all of the cables are long enough even for EATX use.

Some of the other benefits for the EliteXStream 800W include a single high-performance +12V rail, 80plus certification, active PFC, and is multi-GPU ready. Topping off this unit is OCZ's five-year warranty with their exclusive PowerSwap guarantee. At about $160 USD this isn't a bad deal for a power supply of this stature. Should you need a little more power, there is the OCZ EliteXStream 1000W.
