“While the cable lengths were definitely a welcome surprise, they can be brushed aside if the performance of a power supply is lacking. Luckily, the EliteXStream showed us again and again that it could put out some phenomenal numbers when it came to being pushed by some extremely power hungry components. Its efficiency numbers were very good, its voltage regulation was above reproach and ripple suppression was among the best we have seen. What more is there to ask for in a power supply?”Here are some more Cases & Cooling reviews from around the web:

Getting more than you paid for

OCZ’s EliteXStream 800W offers a really good deal for anyone looking for a high powered PSU. The cables are not modular, but they are very long; a bonus in larger cases or more intricate cable management schemes. As well, Hardware Canucks testing has shown the stability and efficiency to be higher than you might expect from a $150, 800W PSU.
