Imagine if it was wrong and you had to contact them, you'd still be trying in Dec 2003

Mine was 6 days before Christmas in 2008. My one and only order. :eek:

2Gb RAM for my Macbook.
 
A Juno P6 tower case (quite flimsy, semi transparent blue plastic plastic over thin metal), an Athlon Slot A 700@850, huge heatsink and an Abit KA7 motherboard from memory.

This was back in about 2000.
 
Intel Core i5 750 2.66GHz (Lynnfield) (Socket LGA1156) - Retail £136.16 1 £136.16
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium - Retail (GFC-00025) £85.10 1 £85.10
Patriot Extreme Performance 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C7 1600MHz Dual Channel (PVS34G1600LLK) £70.42 1 £70.42
Corsair TX 650W ATX SLi Compliant Power Supply (CMPSU-650TXUK) £62.97 1 £62.97
Coolermaster CM-690 Pure Black Windowed Dominator Case - Black £59.57 1 £59.57



and the ram wasn't fully compatible with the cpu

still going strong, with a few minor alterations along the way
 
I think it was the Celeron 300A, had it running at 464MHz in an ABit board for years, before it was replaced with an AXIA Thunderbird. Those were the days...

I think I was the other guy who had one, except mine was a Slot A Athlon 500@750 with a ugly Juno P6 (still in my loft). Were you on OCUK IRC back then as Jay or something?
 
My earliest recorded order is from 2007. A new system, AMD 4200+, 8800GTS, 2Gb RAM, Asus Crosshair.

Before the site had accounts though the earliest thing I remember buying was an XFX 6800 Ultra(NV40) back in 2004. Again it was a new system but I don't remember how many parts I bought from OcUK.

Hehe, looking at the clock speeds of the 6800 Ultra, my 780 core clock idles close to max core clock on the 6800.
 
I think this was probably one of my first purchases

AMD Athlon 1GHz Thunderbird - overclocked to 1.4GHz and crunching SETI when the socket holding the HSF gave way. The sudden heat expansion caused it to shatter itself.
