Introduction

Madshrimps (c)


PC Power and Cooling (PCP&C) has been setting the standard for PSU manufacture since the company was founded in 1985 when they first began building silent systems and silent fans. In 1986 they introduced the TurboCool line opf power supplies which they built in and PC-enthusiasts the world over immediately recognized the quality. Located a few minutes North of San Diego in Carlsbad CA the compay founder Doug Dodson is himself an Enthusiast. In essence PCP&C was founded by PC-hobbyists for PC-hobbyists.
