How did you all find this place?

So come on then...

How did everyone find OC.uk.

Personally, I found it off a link from another forum... I was a lurker for a while, mostly just reading posts but eventually I joined the site properlly...

First thing I purchased from here was an X800XT if I remember correctly, and then afew other bits, such as a motherboard and a Vnice CPU...

What about the rest of you?

When someone told me you could get an athlon 750 to run at 1000, pre-modded. My interest in hardware stopped shortly after, but I stayed on the forum.

Skully · 4 Jun 2006 at 11:31

I'm a big user of the OCAU forums.
This isn't quite the same, but it was an obvious place for me to start.

I think i saw it printed in a mag or somwhere online, but not 100% sure how i found the forum.

The first thing i bought from ocuk was a sff pc and bits.

Found the shop from google.

basmic · 4 Jun 2006 at 11:37

Via the shop at first, then I noticed the forums button. I think I only signed up to ask a question...now look at me.

Asked about overclocking my Slot-A Athlon 700

Almost 6 years ago now.

Voy06 · 4 Jun 2006 at 11:38

Via a friend from our works intranet forum.

I followed a link from a manufacturer displaying the retailers of computer parts

Greenlizard0 · 4 Jun 2006 at 11:44

When I built my system about 5 years ago I realised there were forums here. I didn't actually write my first post out till a year after I joined as far as I can remember.

I bought an iwill slocket 2 for my newly released flip chip PIII 500.

I worked with Murf and he was always surfing the forums.
Discovered the shop through the forums.

kitten_caboodle · 4 Jun 2006 at 11:47

Other half kept bringing up stories from here and pictures (from using the shop I think he found it) - then told me to join in instead of surfing as 'guest'

Via the shop, which in turn I found via seeing somebody in the computer lab at school on the website (and in true nerd style he was talking excitedly to his friends about hardware item XYZ, and they were all hypnotized by the screen).

That was back in 2003 now I think. Also, I registered on the forums before this account says; I didn't visit for a while after my initial question to the forums and thus forgot both my password AND the e-mail address I signed up with. So then when I visited a few months later I naturally created another account, not knowing this was against the rules. Then on Christmas day 2004 (which is also my birthday) I got found out because both accounts showed up as having a birthday that day, and someone must have spotted the details matched. So there I was, Christmas day evening, visit the forums as usual and find I was banned! Fortunately though, someone put me in touch with Feek who was very understanding and unbanned my account (and deleted the other).

First purchase was an Asus 52x CD-RW iirc
