I would definitely be up for something like this.....................if I were closer to your HQ
Snap, Torbay is a long way away.
** WATERCOOLING WORKSHOP - ANY INTEREST? **

Youtube tutorial videos for distance learning?
I'd be up for attending but its a long way for me.
If it is I'm there regardless of distance.

Great idea, but like others I don't exactly live near the OcUK HQ.
Perhaps a livesteam webcam feed for those who can't make it in person?

Great idea Rich, would give a bump to sales!
But def video it too and pop it onto the OcUK TV thing, be great for those who can't make it due to distance
(Thinking about wc my 290s, May as well do my CPU at same time!)

Great idea but as already mentioned the distance is a killer for most of us!
Video'ing it would be good, you could also do a 'dummy' demonstration and post it up here so knowledgeable members could advise on things missed out/ways of demonstrating and presenting.

I think this is a smart idea. There's something about hands-on and interactive experience that a youtube video can never get across. Watercooling makes me nervous, so I've not done it up to now - and I bet I'm not the only wimp lurking on these forums.
Distance not an issue, but working out a wife-bribe for being away might be (and I don't think building her a WC rig would work...)

(and I don't think building her a WC rig would work...)I would be 100% be up for this!
Would we also be able to video record it for our new Youtube channel? all credits would go to Overclockers ofc on discussions with yourselves, free advertisement.
We are just 20min down the road so good location for us
I would be fine with that
Is food provided?!
im sure we could arrange some tea and biscuits but we dont really have the facilities for anything too elaborate.
we have a subway/kfc/mcdonalds right next to us as well as a morrisons over the road for anyone wanting snacks.
the value of the goody bag for attending would be hopefully enough incentive.
I think having it filmed whilst doing the demo would be better. I hated being on camera when I did the OcUK tech labs kit video, whilst it looks fairly natural, I would be much better at presenting to an audience I feel.
I think that a Twitch stream with potential to upload a video to youtube also will be the answer here as I would love to get community feedback as well as extend the reach of the activity to community members further afield.
I am still waiting for the green light from management but the idea is certainly something I am very keen to do.
even if the shop based workshops dont work/prove unpopular/dont get the go ahead. then we can look at doing something for the youtube channel as it has been quiet on there since Nathan left OcUK.

Same here as distance is no object then. I would be more interested in the advanced cooling especially phase chilling etc if they ever went ahead although im sure I could still learn something from you guys despite water cooling my rigs for over 10 years.
nobody mentioned that, good thinking
for those that can't make it produce a series of videos or video the event (it could even be live).

like others have mentioned online videos too.

@ rjkoneill
Possible idea for you would be, to offer Promotional Discount on the back of the Workshop/Live Stream. Something like 5% off all WC products for say 7-14 Days After.
Saves people a little money, and mite encourage those who tempted to try watercooling to "bite the bullet" and order. And in return OCUK actuall mite also gain from higher order volumes and in return.. they might actually pay you overtime for hosting such workshops in future
