External Build: 

Now onto the actual unit itself.  One of my fears have been alleviated; instead of using the dual 80mm fans like the Silencer, it uses a typical 120mm on the bottom with honeycomb venting in the rear.  Notice the power LED below the rocker switch. 

Speaking of the fan, here she is.  I am very happy to see OCZ going with the superior 120mm fans.  Notice the warranty sticker over the top right screw?  Oh ya, that sucker is going to get violated.

Here is a close-up of the power label.  744W on the 12V rail, right where we need it, with 180W on the 3.3V and 5V rails.  Looks like everything here is laid out as we would expect for an SLI system. 

On the opposite side, the OCZ and EliteXStream logos are imprinted into the casing.  A nice touch, even though no one will see it once installed.

Finally, we have the top side view.  It should be noted that OCZ went with a flat black finish. 

I see one thing hasn't changed, and that is the lack of modular cabling, especially in a high capacity PSU.   Also notice that the sleeving extends to within about two inches of the first connector of each strand. 

Internal Build: 

The internal layout of the EliteXStream is nothing like the Silencer 610 previously mentioned.  Upon research we find that this unit is designed by Impervio.  This particular unit utilizes dual transformers and three primary capacitors.  The heatsink is well designed for the single fan layout, with as much surface area exposed to the fan's airflow  as possible. 

A peak down into the PCB reveals that the design is the same as the 1000W unit, and adds the possibility of a 900W unit sometime down the road. 

On the secondary side, something I have not seen before.  An add-in PCB which houses the OVP/OCP/OPP circuitry, as well as adjustable voltage rails.  The rails are sealed with a dab of hot glue.  While this may appeal to some enthusiasts, know that in order to access the pots, one must void the warranty.   

Finally, inside the top casing exists the single cooling fan.   Notice that it sits slightly off-center. 

The fan is a model provided by Pyrotechnic, model MGA12012HF-O25.  This fan is rated for 38.3dBA at 1600RPMs, no word as to what the airflow is.
