Competitor apparently going bump

[CrazyGreggy]

Any connection to that Ashley tool puts them on my 10-foot-barge pole-list.

 

[Roughneck]

theres a page on the website, says they , "entered administration on [11th August 2025]. The company is now being managed by appointed administrators(frpadvisory.)"

 

[Poolybit]

And the corporate / careers links in the footer go straight to the frasers group pages too!

London Stock Exchange-listed Fraser Group is understood to have bought struggling UK online tech bazaar ****** from administrators in a pre-pack agreement, sources have told The Register.

Fraser Group – run by Mike Ashley, the founder of Sports Direct – houses brands that also include House of Fraser, Flannels, Jack Wills, Game, and stakeholdings in Asos, Boohoo and sofa.com.

I won't like to the article as it mentions the competitor's name, but it's easy enough to find from the above quote.

I used to buy loads from them in the early days. Had an RMA rejected and then saw the famous Christmas photo and never used them again.

Well they are back up and running, though doubt they would be considered competition anymore unless overclockers are planning on selling toasters

 

[SupraWez]

Did wonder as still getting email offers through

Haven't touched them in years, the horror stories of their customer service were enough to put me off.

Boom! And just like that you can now buy slazenger T-shirts from E-buyer

This reminded me of another supplier I use to use then realised not had an email in a while, they closed in 2016 dab dab dab

OCUK do infact sell toasters, pre-overclocked with RGB.

They probably don’t have many in stock, no one’s really buying Intel these days.

My boss was planning to get something from them this morning, he was absolutely confused when he loaded up their site!

Can't imagine them lasting long like this though, I'm sure it'll be eventually merged in one of Fraser's other brands.

Haha just had to look that up, I bet that didn't go down well at the time.

I bet they never stop! Somehow Groupon started emailing me this year after about 7 years, and I'm on 3 emails a day and no way to reach a human to make it stop.

Thought that couldn't be true but then came across this picture of 8Pack overclocking one

Everything is an Xbox these days so not surprised.

I had 2 blower modals in cross fire. This is very accurate representation
