What was your first product you purchased from overclockers?

Looks like I was building a new rig and using parts of my old rig to fill the gaps!

Intel Core 2 Duo E6400
Asus P5N-E SLi nForce 650
Thermaltake VC2000BNS Mambo Tower
OcUK Huntkey 500W PSU
DVD Drive
Maxtor DiamondMax 21 160GB HDD

I remember this machine. Ended up upgrading it with a Q6600 and a BFG 8800GTS. The thing is now sitting under the stairs in my brothers house!
 
I ordered a bunch of things for my first build in 2008.

Acer P223W-D 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Black/Silver
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64-Bit - OEM (66I-01939)
Akasa SATA-II 45cm Silver Data Cable (SATA2-45-SL)
Corsair Dominator 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 XMS2 PC2-8500C5 TwinX (TWIN2X4096-8500C5D)
Powercolor ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB GDDR5 TV-Out/Dual DVI/HDMI (PCI-Express) - Retail
Asus P5Q Intel P45 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 LGA775 'Yorkfield' 2.66GHz 12MB-cache (1333FSB) Processor - Retail
Creative Gigaworks T20 2.0 Speaker System (51MF1545AA002)
LG GGC-H20L Blu-Ray Reader & HD-DVD ROM Serial ATA Drive - Retail

BitDefender Total Security 2008 - Retail
Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 750GB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM (ST3750330AS)

The speakers are fantastic and I still use them today along with the Blu-Ray drive.
 
Some sort of cheapo radial blower that attached to the expansion slots and drew air from around the vga card.

was back in the days when the "shop" was a chipboard plank across a very narrow office with a single desk in the back from what I recall.

First order myself (had a friend that introduced me to the place order some stuff for me previously) was...

Corsair Flash Voyager 8GB USB2.0 Flash Drive
Kingston DataTraveler 100 4GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive (DT100/4GB)

Exciting stuff :p
 
Another just before Xmas order, 2007. I'd always used competitors before that.

Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound (3.5g) £5.99
Akasa AK-TC TIM Clean CPU & Heatsink Cleaner £3.99
Antec Power Supply Tester £9.99 1 £9.99
Be Quiet! Straight Power 600W ATX2.2 SLI Compliant PSU £51.99

Not a very exciting order, really.
 
Nothing. Their overpriced IT stuff is available elsewhere for cheaper. I come here for the LOLZ

:p

A 3dfx card. I just about remember going into the shop down Fenton many years ago. It was jointly owned back then by Spie and another guy. If I remember correctly it was at the front of the industrial park before it moved to more or less the center of it, down the walk way.

Crazy thing is, I'm still using it all with my third different graphics card, an extra 4GB RAM (which I paid the princely sum of £19.99 for in November 2011!) and an SSD. I also have no plans to upgrade until at least next year. Them i5 chips were (and still are) stunning value for money.
