A £1200 sli 8800 gaming machine that I built myself 11? years ago.
No Sli bridge was sent (was this before sli main boards came with one? idk) and overclockers refused to send one out to me. Was a unhappy bunny, I had a nightmare of a time finding one back then; It was probably me I was so green. When I did get my hands on one (I was heavily addicted to wow at the time so a couple of years later...) It was all too hot in the case for them anyway, haha.
When it came to upgrading 5 years later, I gave them [ocuk] a shot again.
My order was messed up and somehow had charged me but the order had not been put together, nor sent a week later.
BUT!
5UB to the rescue! This guy single handedly restored my faith in OCUK gave me a healthy discount and some free games.. the order was put together and sent out lickity split and all was good in the world.
Since then I've not had a single problem with OCUK and have spent much more money since then too.
Not a single problem in 5 years of purchases, thank you OCUK and keep giving 5UB the raises he deserves

A friend recommended overclockers to me. Well over a decade so I might remember wrong but he kept going on about his case with thermistor controlled fans that just speeded on and off by themselves to control heat in various parts of the case.
Never really seen that since, was such a prebuilt case an ocuk thing Im not sure
Ive mentioned before the crazy pencil trick AMD chip I bought, I think it was part of the deal you were told to do this routinely You literally drew on the top with a HB pencil and it overclocked, so Im guessing anything is possible

Was that one of those that could be re-flashed to a 9800 pro?
Blimey was it that long ago
Yes, I had forgotten about that. I flashed mine and thought it was great. Full 9800pro performance AND all the AIW features.
Was very happy with it.

Epox.. 8rda? I think..
The AIW had a TV card with a different bios didn't it?
You could definitely flash the 9500 and 9800NP.
