OCZ may have gotten caught up in glitz and glamor of owning a boutique system building business. After all, all the cool kids were doing it, including Dell (Alienware) and HP (Voodoo). Or maybe it was a case of wanting to run with the big dogs. Either way, less than three years after acquiring Hypersonic PC, OCZ has had its fill and is ready to move on.
"At this time Hypersonic PC is not accepting any orders," a message on Hypersonic's website reads. "We are honoring all warranties and will continue to support existing customers."
A temporary glitch or self-imposed time-out, perhaps? Not likely. According to Alex Mei, OCZ's Executive VP and CMO, OCZ wants to go in a different direction.
"We are focusing all our resources on SSD, PSU, and memory and our SI business really didn't fit into the spectrum of things," Mei reportedly told Techgage.
So who's left? Only ABS, Aliewnare, CyberPower, Digital Storm, Falcon Northwest, iBuyPower, Maingear, Velocity Micro, Voodoo PC, and any others we might have neglected to mention.
