Awesome 5 year manufacturer warranty. This is a SINGLE RAIL power supply meaning it will give you cleaner and more stable power than most dual rail power supplies. It is worth every penny!

Overall Review: PC Power & Cooling was recently purchased by OCZ. OCZ branded power supplies are cheaper but not necessarily better. The PC P&C branded power supplies are most likely their top end now.
