Shortage: AMD Socket 939 X2 3800, 4200 & 4600!

The shop is...appropriate for the market. It's best suited to people who knows what they want before they get to the shop. It has a certain Spartan charm. It comes across as a corner of a warehouse, really. It's small, dominated by the trade counter and has only a few things on display along parts of two walls due to the lack of space. There are 2 or 3 PCs showing the website, which is appropriate considering that it would be reasonable to view the shop as a physical presence for a predominantly online business.

It's a storage facility and office space with a trade counter in an ante-room, really.

The storage facility must be a Tardis. OcUK have a huge turnover and there can't be much space in the mankey aircraft hanger of a business park that the shop is in.

So, whenever you're in the shop, look out for a very long scarf :)
 
Been a few times, and both times had barneys with my lass as I have had a nightmare finding it. You would think that it would be a big place but it does give the impression of being small. All their stock must be crammed in every available draw space. But in the end u know what u want just go to the counter get your stuff and thats it. U dont get a bloke in a purple shirt coming up to u who knows squat.

Good news, really strange that I had no interest in dual core for a few months but as soon as I ordered a X2 3800+ I want it straight away :D

Oh yeah, it's hard to find, too. The "business park" OcUK is in is at the end of a side street off a side street. There used to be a Volvo garage on the corner where you turn into the first side street from the main road and most people knew where that was, but it's gone now. I forget what's there now.

There must be more space out the back of the shop than there appears to be...or a replicator from Star Trek to make the kit :)
 
AMD have certainly hit on one here, Conroe has been delayed and there sales have shot up. Nice one AMD, You can win the war :D

i always read people visiting the ocuk shop, i'm intrigued, what does the actual ocuk shop look like, anyone have any pics? :D
It used to be quite nice. Now its horrid. Not the shop itself. Just the fact that its allways rammed. Your easyily looking at 1hour+ to get served. Queues are massive, and that many people, in such a small room=bad.
Unless your lucky and get their at one of the very few quiet times.

Im not suprised the X2s are selling though. I pre-ordered mine literally the minute they went online so i wouldnt lose out on getting one. I wasnt gonna buy for a month, but i thought i might as well order now. :p
