That's what my manager screams at 12 without fail, every day! Anyway, I was just wondering if anybody has any thoughts on the OcUK brand stuff? How do they get hold of the stock unbranded hardware?

What's your opinion on the products and do you think that eventually they will be come a well known brand?

Some of it is low end, some of it is just as good as any other OEM's offering, it depends on the specific items in question. Certainly none of it is poor, but I don't really see it becoming a major well known brand. It is a bit like the value products in tesco. Some are just as good as the branded stuff and some are not as nice but acceptable. The comparative quality varies from product to product and cannot be measured generally.

I was thinking the same thing. I think its great that a company that feels so 'homely' has gone to the effort to get these kind of products over here and to make them available at those prices. The more I look at OverClockers the more I realise what they are doing. For me they are keeping computing from a know nothing to a computer nerd alive in the UK. I was amazed at the range and broadness of their forums that they have their feet firmly on the ground.

The GPU's are often from other smaller manufaturers of reference cards. Which you'd pay much more for in other outlets.

The PSU's are not top notch but great value for a cheap low use system.

Im ashamed to say the only ocuk branded item I own is the Mouse mat, it is awesome.

They find a great point between price and performance.
