A few features:

80PLUS GOLD Certified
Above 90% Efficiency
Come in both Modular and Non Modular
No Longer than standard Atx Power Supplies

Pretty nice pricing on them aswell, and with the efficiency they would earn themselve the premium they cost in energy savings.

71A +12v Rail on the 850W
81A +12v Rail on the 1kw
This means, that the power supply can pull all 850W or 1kw from its +12v rail if need be. Im assuming the internals are probably seasonic due to the high effeciency, but will need to wait for some reviews to check that.

Looks like a fine series of PSU's. I've always trusted OCZ as a good brand for the money. I also like the massive single rail.
 
Very nice...I like!

Looks like a great piece of harware. I have always favorerd a large single 12v rail. Kinda pricy but I am sure they will drop at least $50 in the next couple months. If I was doing a high end build...I would consider this PSU.

With these being released under the OCZ name and not the higher end pc power& cooling line, it makes me wonder whether pcp&c will soon start to integrate with OCZ, maybe an OCZ Silencer line coming soon perhaps.
 
guess you saw them pretty quick, because OCZ just barely announced these a few days ago and they're already ready to buy. incase anyone wants to read the press releases:
