Product links to youtube

Hey, i was thinking what a good idea it would be if when you want to buy something from the site you can first view it and see how it perfoms on youtube.

Because I am thinking of buying a whole new gaming pc, but i would like to see it perform on certain games.

Or Overclockers should make there own youtube channel, and upload all of there gaming systems.

Please OCUK

If you want to see how a certain product performs, just look up benchmarks.

DotFifty89 · 19 Mar 2012 at 17:14

yes but i would like to see it in action

Also benchmarks don't always relate to actual real life performance.
And to some mean nothing more than numbers and pretty lines.
I'm with thee OP on this one. That's a very good idea. OCUK should have a YouTube channel. I know I have seen the newegg one and it seems to work very well.

There are like a gazzilion* videos on YouTube of any product you may want to buy. Go there and type the name. *boom*

* and another quadrillion being uploaded every minute.

Just typed Ultima 9500i Monolith no boom. (or videos for that matter)

But OCuK PCs are built to order? Which means for each PC they'd have to build one, review it, then sell it as B Grade as it won't technically be new any more? And it's hard to do so as components in their rigs change frequently.

It's a good idea though none the less.

The Ultima 9500i Monolith is a system they sell as a system. Not a one off.
Also it states they test them. So in theory they could video the test (I'm assuming this includes stress testing) then if a customer wanted to change a part they would only have to research 1 part. The pc also wouldn't need to be sold as B grade as it was already being built and tested to fulfil a order.

I don't think it would take a massive amount of work on OCUK Part. But I think it is something a lot of customers would appriciate. Especially those less technically minded amongst us.

We have our own YouTube page. Also, watch this space, a lot of ideas have been pumping around the OcUK HQ recently.

Isn't that an OCUK branded system? That's probably why there isn't no video. Gap in the market here, why don't you buy one and create your own video?

There will be, however, plenty of videos on YouTube on each of the components of that system.

That's the point I'm making.
I'm not saying OCUK do a video review of every item they sell. But for their builds, overclocked bundles and pre assembled watercooled GFX cards I think it's a good idea that wouldn't require that much work.

I know if I was going to buy pre built I would prefer to see a video of one in action first.

It would also be a good idea to explain why they have chosen certain components over others maybe.
