The power supply is certified 80% efficient (or so it says on the Newegg site, under the Overview tab), which is great on the power bill.
Also, HERE is a review.

You need to have been signed up for their email at least 24 hours before you try to use the code.
Try now.
The rebate must be postmarked within 12 days of purchase including weekends. Seems a bit unfair to me so don't let them screw you out of your rebate.
OCZ support is fantastic... I have seen them give rebate-extensions if needed in multiple cases.

Yup. I didn't realize this when I got in on the last deal. I did submit the rebate within 12 days of when I "received" the PSU, but it wasn't within 12 days of the purchase date. Got denied. 
I still may go back and call them to see if they have a heart.
I do believe these short postmark time frames are a scam. It is obvious they are trying to get away with as much as they can with the terms of these rebates, especially since there are so few regulations in most states. Seems like the standard should be at least 30 days. That way you have time to receive the product and make sure it is in working order.

I don't count giving rebate-extension as a fantastic support. 12 days rebate is extremely short. If you are out of 12 days period, you have to rely on their customer service discretion to get approval of the rebate. I don't think it is a good idea to rely on someone discretion to get the rebate.
I can't find any reason to explain why OCZ's rebate period only 12 days besides they want to screw as many rebates as possible.
Did you guys tell Newegg about this? They're one of the few online merchants who'll listen to issues like this.
how is this PSU rated? i'm in the market for one since my stock Dell 375w isn't cutting it with my asus 4850. also, is it relatively quiet?
Last question, apparently this PSU only comes with 3 SATA connectors (why?) So if I want to connect my 2 hard drives and 2 optical drives I'll need some kind of Molex adaptor. Can someone point me in the right direction for picking one up?

Couldn't hurt. If OCZ blows me off, I will contact the Egg.
Will this PSU be sufficient to power my Q6600, Asus 4850, 2 HDD, and 2 DVD drives? After reading This review I'm wondering if 4 rails are such a good idea...
Reading the rails in the comparison charts is important and this information can be found on the power supply itself and the box. While these power supplies appear to have similar rails, they are in fact quite different. The StealthXStream 600w for example claims to have four 18 amp rails which can deliver a combined output of 580 watts. However if all four rails were working at 18A the power requirement would be 216w per rail, adding up to a total of 864 watts across three rails. Obviously this 600 watt power supply is not rated or designed to handle this kind of load.
What this means is the four rails can share up to 580 watts of power, meaning if two rails are fully loaded the other two rails are limited to around 75 watts each. An even power distribution that the StealthXStream 600w could handle across all four rails would be 12A on each rail, which is 144 watts per rail. The rails are already assigned to certain devices, for example the first rail feeds power to “CPU1” while the second is shared by “CPU2” and “PCI-E2”. The third rail powers the 24-pin motherboard connector and other 12v devices, while the fourth is dedicated to PCI-E1.
On our test system the second rail could almost be maxed out under full load, as the quad-core processor and the GeForce 8800 GTX would both draw 140watts off a single rail. The fourth and first rails should only reach about 75 watt’s under load in this system, while the third rail could be maxed out by the motherboard and accessories. Therefore while the StealthXStream 600w can and did handle our test system, it is working near its limits.
That said, wouldn't I want to have the Q6600 and the 4850 each running on different rails? Why would they have their quad core cpu and the 8800 GTX both on the same rail? Something doesn't sound right.
Not as quiet as I had hoped. I had an Antec 480w that was quieter but not enough wattage. I bought the 600watt GameXstream which I thought was almost loud. I ebayed that and got the 600watt StealthXstream but as I said, not as quiet as I had hoped.
