Company History

PC Power & Cooling started the business back in 1985, on April 19th, in a small warehouse outside of San Diego. In an interview for the Computer Power User magazine, Doug Dobson the founder of PC Power & Cooling, offered his explanation how he started:

"I was an electronic hobbyist since I was a kid, and my background was in economics and commodity trading. I had one of the first XT computers. The computer was extremely noisy, so I created a special large-diameter cooling fan to take the place of the small fan that was inside of it and just did it for myself to reduce noise. Then people came and saw it. They wanted one, and one thing led to another. So I started making these things in my garage in 1985. Then I realized that the entire power supply needed to be redesigned because it was just poorly designed by IBM in the early days. The fan would cavitate. There was no real airflow coming out, so you had a ton of noise and no cooling. We started developing power supplies that were both quieter and cooler than the stock XT power supplies and we started getting customers for both attributes."

First products the company produced were custom fans to cool computers and make the quieter. Then, in 1986, PC Power & Cooling presented its first power supplies. The Silencer 150 and the Turbo-Cool 200 were the industry's first high performance and ultra quiet computer power supplies. The people's reviews were great, soon other cutting edge products appeard and the company grew. 1991 was the year when PC Power & Cooling moved to its current facility in San Diego. PC Power & Cooling takes pride in its loyal and knowledgeable customer base, its ultra reliable product line, its professional staff and its financial strength.
