These guys advertise in FHB and it looks like they have a pretty good system. The floor panels are XPS foam bonded to OSB in 2×2 foot squares and the wall panels are XPS foam bonded to OSB in 2×8 foot panels.
Has anyone tried this product? Their recommended electrical installation looks iffy, but otherwise it looks like a decent system, assuming the OSB doesn’t get wet.

I like the dimpled plastic stuff better. It creates an airspace to help control misture.
Thanks for chiming in.
The dimpled plastic stuff works pretty well. The OVRX does have channels underneath, and it seems to me that it has the added benefit of the XPS insulation, which the dimpled stuff doesn't have. And according to http://www.buildingscience.com, you are better off having something on the floor and walls that not only insulates but is vapor permeable like XPS instead of dimpled plastic which is not vapor permeable.
But I wonder if the OSB is vapor permeable?
