This. Bought it on release date (iirc around 2005/6). I only grabbed it because id ruined my old one and this had a little secret drawer to hide my valuables....



looking through my old pics, this is what it was powering <3 maaan that was my best set up ever, so much fun was had at that computer. i remember grabbing those monitors, cost me around 400 - 500 quid each from a place i worked in the summer on the school holidays...

I spend a fair amount on a new computer back in the day.

AMD Athlon 2500 Barton Core,
TwinMos memory
Abit NFS-7 Motherboard
Hercules 9700Pro GPU
Thermaltake case, not sure which model

As well as the infamous PSU from Q-Tec

 

[Flukester]

Didn't buy anything but made and sold Athlon overclocking cards to OCUK, maybe someone here bought one

must have been 14 years ago

 

[Andelusion]

A 128mb ram stick to upgrade my pentium 3 system (350mz clock speed) to a dizzying 192mb ram. It gave a nice speed boost for Unreal Tournament!

 

[GAC]

A AMD Thunderbird 1ghz cpu unlocked and overclocked to 1.2ghz. still got it somewhere in its little plastic ocuk labelled box.

 

[Sone]

Think it eas a Celeron 633 @ 950

 

[Cosimo]

An email from 2001 says a Enermax power supply but there is bound to be something older in an archive.

 

[Doomedspeed]

Mine was only 4 or so years ago, I remember it vividly..

OCZ 550w PSU
Cooler master 360 case.

Great first order.

 

[ots3go]

It was some NForce2 based system, but I really can't remember!

I've definitely been buying from OCuk since about 2001 though. I believe my first purchase was an AMD Athlon 1400+ and extras.

Epox mobo, 8RDA I think?, drove over to collect after my board went pop back in 2002.

 

[Edrof]

I think my first buy was a Titan Sabre PC system. I'm still using it now, but it is in need of a bit of updating.
