The OCZ ZS Series 550W supply is finished in plain black with ‘sporty' blue stickers on the sides.

The fan on the new model is bigger than the previous version, scaling up from 120mm to 135mm. Surprisingly there is no OCZ badge in the middle however, which looks slightly unfinished.

The rear is vented to aid the airflow. There is a power connector and switch offset to the right.

As this is not a modular design, all the cabling is native to the supply. OCZ have a protective ring around the metal chassis to ensure the cable doesn't fray.

The unit is reasonably attractive, and will fit into any system build, without standing out like a sore thumb.

Product specifications are listed on a sticker at the top of the supply.
