    OCZ (LSE:OCZ) today announced immediate plans to bring Hypersonic
    PC into the OCZ Technology Group. Known primarily as the worldwide
    leader in innovative, high-performance computer memory and power
    supply units, OCZ acquired Hypersonic PC to employ their rich
    expertise in high-end system building and take the organization and
    mobile gaming to the next level. Hypersonic has been paving the way in
    maximum performance computing since 1996 and established themselves as
    a leader attributable to their diligent focus on technology, quality,
    craftsmanship, and world-class support. Under the OCZ Technology
    Group, the Hypersonic vision can be taken to new heights and grow in

    Combined with their highly personalized solutions and aggressive
    deployment of the newest advances in PC technology, Hypersonic has
    earned numerous industry awards and recognition and filled the
    enthusiast niche unlike any system builder. Their extensive product
    line includes highly-tuned gaming systems, cutting-edge notebooks, and
    powerful workstations and is a culmination of their dedication to
    their craft and the end-user.

    With OCZ taking the lead, the goal is to carry on the Hypersonic
    tradition of catering to the demands of the high-end market while
    increasing resources to maximize innovation and technological
    leadership and at the same time maintaining their high level of
    service, quality-control, and customization. Hypersonic PC's
    time-honored reputation for putting the extreme enthusiast and gamer
    at the forefront of product design and development can now be taken to
    the next level with the acquisition.

    "OCZ's goal is to deliver the highest performing products to
    consumers whether that is with premium components or total solutions,"
    said Ryan Petersen, CEO of the OCZ Technology Group. "We are delighted
    to welcome Hypersonic PC, a company and brand well-known for their
    commitment to enthusiasts into the OCZ fold. Together with the
    additional resources of OCZ Technology, Hypersonic-PC will be able to

    the world over as an award-winning builder of advanced gaming PCs,
    notebooks, and professional workstations," said Fred Cohen, President
    and Founder of Hypersonic. "Our strategy has always been to employ
    bleeding-edge technology and innovative design backed by the highest
    level of customer support. The fusion of OCZ's groundbreaking memory
    and power technologies will catapult Hypersonic to a position of
    leadership in the performance computing arena."

    "Hypersonic is well recognized for crafting some of the most
    advanced performance PCs in the world," said Eyal Akler, CEO of
    Hypersonic PC. "OCZ Technology Group is clearly a market leader when
    it comes to producing high quality, high performance products. I am
    confident that OCZ will use its vast capabilities to further improve
    the quality and service of the Hypersonic brand. With Hypersonic as

    leading-edge computer technology, Hypersonic PC will represent the
    system division of the OCZ Technology Group. Previously, Hypersonic PC
    customized and pre-built solutions were only available to US customers
