Great Service, but.......

The Dirts · 4 Mar 2013 at 16:38

now I have a dilema.

Ordered a X79 bundle 5pm Friday night (1st March). Figured I'd go with the 5-7 day option and have it delivered to work so the wife doesn't find out.
This way I could install it while she's at work next week, as she is at home all this week.

It was delivered to work at lunchtime today, which means I can risk bringing it home and chancing an install or leave it at work for the week and installing next week. It will be safe enough so no worries there.

Damn you OCUK for being so efficient

Great service though, thanks

Haha, now you have to suffer temptation or risk the wrath of "she who shall not be named"

dacads · 4 Mar 2013 at 17:15

How very cheeky

But as they say woman always find out the truth, or do they?

zakblood · 4 Mar 2013 at 17:21

she will find out in the end, there always do

Bacon? · 4 Mar 2013 at 17:53

You guys make it sound like the missus is the end all and be all

Is it only once you get married it becomes like that lol

The Dirts · 4 Mar 2013 at 18:09

She may find out in the end, but I do all the money stuff and as it's on the inside of the case there won't be any evidence.
Also, now she won't be using this PC (as I have upgraded the kids one so she is relegated to that), she shouldn't be any the wiser....... I hope

I changed from a 20" Dell monitor to a NEC 24" and it took her a fortnight to realise it was different.

Fingers crossed.

i'd cross more than your fingers, and sleep with one eye open just in case

Say you found it on the street (free).. Works everytime.

Dannyboy84 · 4 Mar 2013 at 18:57

tell her it came from one of the work computers she will never know xD

marc2003 · 4 Mar 2013 at 19:13

little do you know what she's posting about right now on forums.iloveshoes.com

The Dirts · 4 Mar 2013 at 19:15

rofl, if I thought she knew what a forum was I might be worried.

Unless it's all a front and she really is a computer whizz... :eek:

PhysicsMan94 · 4 Mar 2013 at 20:26

Lol, she could be looking at this thread right now - just about to go into a rage.

That's the way I do it, I only mention it if its a monitor or something she can see

so my 2nd GPU, SSD, Replacement memory, new fans, bigger PSU all went un-noticed, I mentioned my new £30 ish fan controller, but sold the old memory on ebay for more

she thinks my PC has had no major upgrade in over a year

The Dirts · 5 Mar 2013 at 17:37

I like your style

Amazing how these PC's stay up to date with no spending

joshcowin · 5 Mar 2013 at 19:19

the best thing to do is if you buy something you buy her something like shoes,works everytime

archerz · 5 Mar 2013 at 19:21

haha reallydid make me laugh.. only because ive done it before

BaDBoY_uK · 5 Mar 2013 at 22:38

Not the worst problem to have bro

Mirmo · 7 Mar 2013 at 15:36

Lock her in the living room with a dvd of Devil Wears Prada and a box of Ferrero Rocher. You'll get two hours alone with your new baby and brownie points!

The Dirts · 7 Mar 2013 at 17:42

She going to her mums for the weekend and taking the kids, so that works out well for the install.

Not sure she needs ALL those suitcases though ??
