Once
I'd removed the casing the first thing that struck me was
the intense similarity between this and Tagan's power supplies.
Both share the same colours PCBs, both the cream/beige main
PCB and also the smaller blue PCBs. Both also share the
same style of black anodized heat sink. I suppose the twisted
cables should have been a clue as Tagan supplies aher that
feature too.
As I mentioned once before, Black surfaces radiate and absorb
heat better according to Stefan-Boltzmann
and thus a black heat sink should be more efficient at cooling
the internal components.
Also
in common with Tagan's PSUs is the two-fan pull-push arrangement
which places the two fans one at either end and allows greater
available height and thus facilitates the bigger heat sinks.

Ultimately,
I don't know and don't much care if Tagan are using OCZ's
electronics, if OCZ are using Tagan's or if they're both
contracting it out to a third party. What matters to me
is quality and past experience has shown these to be extremely
high quality configurations.
Quality
Assurance is a little suspect here, somebody seems to have
left a couple of soda cans inside! :)

I
hope the soldering process is automated. Would you fancy
attaching this little lot?

At
this point I was considering explaining to you what each
of the internal components does and how they do it but then
it dawned on me that I don't have the slightest idea what
they do, most of them anyway. I think I spotted a Flux Capacitor
in there though!

Despite
the sheer volume of wiring and components the layout remains
neat and tidy and smacks of careful planning and quality
assembly.
