Over 12,000 customers can't be wrong!

On the main page I owned 8 of those items.

Windows ME was not one of them.

I was expecting the tech to be cheaper but it was actually more expensive back then...£249 for a 19 inch crt oh wow.

that is weird - i remember that.

The logo was much better looking back then.

A bit like the one on the side of the still current Christmas pud (currant pud?)

Looks similar?

I knew the old guard were a bad lot but now you point that out!....

That pudding needs revamping.

But the new logo won't look right on the pud??

Sexy beige case. Still waiting for them to come back into fashion.

Wow, look at that... I want one.

Trying to figure out what 'that' is...

Very poor picture.

It wasn't until 2004 that I bought my one and only system from OcUK but I don't think the site looked much different. Thems were the days.

FreeSpeed Pro Athlon Overclocking Card

I bought one from OcUK.
It turned my 550Mhz Slot A Athlon into a 900Mhz super CPU. Was the fastest thing around at the time

I bought a 19" CRT screen from OcUK in 2003 for £350.

The Globalwin 802 was such a beast of a case, extremely well built and I used to love the removable motherboard tray.

I think I bought my current monitor, a 17" Hercules Prophet View 920 DVI pro, from here around the release date 10(?) years ago or so and I think it was around £350.

Funny how people think c. 2000 offerings are so retro.
