Both Rocketfish and Dynex are exclusive Best Buy brands. Sorry, but I don't know where they come from, and like Bino said, many times they carry a premium price. I discovered the connection from a power supply article on a site I don't remember off-hand. The upshot of that article is that although the Rocketfish supply claimed 700 watts, it pooped out around 500. That may not be an indication that everything they do is over-spec'ed, but I'd consider that they probably brand items from the lowest bidder, so the quality will be uneven. Also the real manufacturer of each item may be different. Might be time to search the web to find out....
