Great Service, but.......

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

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.

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:

I like your style

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

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 ??

Thats how I did the full build last time in 2009.
She was away over easter while I worked.
Sneaking the tower case out the house this time would be harder to hide.

But the plan is coming together perfectly, just need patience and no issues.

Well it's in and running, no issues at all. WOW what an improvement. :eek:

Was lazy and just swapped the boards, no new win 7 install. Just update a few drivers here and there.
For the record, came with the K2 Mount Doom instead of the Prolimatech.

Now about this big pile of various boxes under the desk. Used as camoflague...... Up into the loft with them before she comes home.
Next up.... new case. May have to declare that .
Need to change me sig at some time too.

Thanks again OCUK, great product, great service.

Should have mentioned this in the OP
