You're asking for trouble mentioning OcUK's competitors in this context.

Please take the time to read our rules please.

I'm a little shocked that it's been redacted so it only shows Overclockers products, granted I understand it's on Overclockers Forums but it's a little daft, it's like posting on a corsair forum and being told that you are not allowed to mention any other brand.

I'll just post on another forum which will no doubt appreciate the build.

Oh and just a heads up I find overclockers.co.uk exorbitantly more expensive than 'other' computer stores.

Thanks for the info but buying from the uk and delivered to the japan will be very very expensive anyway so best to buy locally.

But as your from Bradford the postage should be cheaper.

Feel free to share your build but do not link to overclockers competitors please.

Never known a business that allows you to advertise a rival without their consent . Wonder if I'd get told to leave Argos if I held up advertisements Curry's is doing the same items cheap down the road ... Hehe

And what does a list of suppliers and costs add to project log anyway?

Well you didn't share a build. You just posted a list of parts to show off how much you'd spent. There is zero point in saying where you bought anything from if you're showing a build.

And I'm a little shocked at you being a little shocked that all competitor links were removed from your post. By what possible metric would you think it was fine to post prices of another shop?

Do you actually have to read the forum terms and rules when you create an account?

The most import rules should be there on the sign-up page where they can’t be missed.
