Just wanted to know, because I have a question about making something out of things they sell.
Thanks

I say that's fine.

Well if they are you have just named them

I would hazard a guess that if they are a computer store then they will be classed as a competitor, no matter where they are located.

well, as they sell some of the same parts as ocuk do, then yes, it is a competitor.

if you email cz though and ask them they will answer your questions, they are rather good at getting back to you.

Yeah, I emailed them to ask a question, they will respond.

Note: be sure to be concise and clear as they will miscontrue on occasion

they sell overclockers uk branded stuff

erm I dont even see that on the ocuk website, do they have permission to use the OC UK name and logo? are they owned by the same company that bought ocuk?

hopefully a mod sees this quick just in case the company has no permission to be doing this

i dont believe they are owned by caseking (who i think is who owns overclockers), CZ is in Portugal and has a small team.

i did think the same about that backplate though, thought it was funny they are effectively advertising ocuk on their site

yea caseking own ocuk with haribo having a 10% share (just kidding about the haribo)
It's wierd they sell something ocuk branded yet I don't see the same item on the ocuk store

they will put anything on, normally its something somebody has requested from them, then they put a price on it, so that they can buy it from the store. They then leave it there if someone else wants to buy it.

Some one said that they had designed and ordered this on the build log forum.

PGI has ok'd the use of the OCUK logo for his backplate, check out the build log section, CZ put it up so he could order it from them

Ok thanks guys

davido_labido · 19 Feb 2013 at 18:48

wooohoo, my backplate has gone on the site now...
