What brought you to OcUK?

A friend I went to college with told me to look here for some components. Checked out the forums and been here ever since.
 
I can't remember how I found OcUK, but it was when I was building a PC and I signed up for some advice. Been here ever since!
 
I'd been considering building my own PC for a while, and was just browsing forums looking for advice and such, when I came across overclocking. Googled overclocking, and OcUK was the first result.
 
Was building a PC many years ago and needed some advice. Picked OcUK because they are a 20 minute drive away (Stafford) and then stuck to the forums since :)
 
theoverclockingstore.co.uk closed, which at the time was the best overclocking store online as this place had a really bad reputation. Luckily ocuk has come a very long way since those days :)

It was the only place in Stoke that had a Geforce 4600 Ultra in stock at the time iirc. And word of mouth from friends rather than "Internet site reviews!"

I'd read a lot of crap about OC/UK on line, but I decided to give them a go anyway as they were local to me and still use them to this day.

Never had an issue with the staff or service.
 
Bought some parts a few years back, didn't think much about the forum then. Got bored one day and remembered the forum button on the main site so thought I would take a look.
 
Although I first made some purchases from Overclockers some time ago and have known about it for some years now, I didn't realize there was a forum until I saw a mention of it at Neowin. I then signed up.
 
I followed a link from from another forum years ago where it was pointed out that OcUK forum was full of argumentative & aggressive posters & several more posters agreed,lol
 
I came here for advice when building my first computer (I think I found the site via a bit of Googling and recommendations from other forums). I lurked for years and started posting properly about a year ago I think. I mainly stick around because the forums are full of people of a similar age group to me and most people share my sense of humour. :)
