and why did you stay with them?.

i must admit i dont get all my stuff from here, however i *think* 1st used them back in late 99 i think it was for a then brand new cutting edge geforce 256DDR , it was after *competitor!* had peed me off.

the thing which made me use them (they were not the cheapest) was that i had initially phoned their tech support asking about some other piece of hardware - dunno what it was - and i kid you not, the guy on the phone said

actually i know sod all about it, but my mate works at a computer shop down the road, so he puts me on hold for 5 mins, and then comes back with the info i wanted, even tho they didnt sell the product.

I must admit, i know people who claim to have issues with ocuk tech support, but i never had (but then i REALLY rate *competitor!* as well so go figure ;) )

*its possible i am confused on that but i would say 80% sure*
 
since august 2001, although i don't always buy here, as they don't stock everything and some things are cheaper else where.

About 4 years ago I bought my first components for a computer. The reason they are my primary outlet is because 1) they refunded (out of their own pocket) the purchase price of a Nvidia 6800 when it died and XFX refused replacements refunds. Needless to say I needed a new card and mobo (PCIE) and they got my money. :p Plus the forums help as I like to see a personal side to a company.
 
must admit ive not got masses from the store but i think it was 99/2000 when i first started using the forums for advice then in 02 i remember there being some sort of forum change/problem so i had to re-register
 
First time was 3 years ago when some geil value ram and a hdd were both in this week only and came to less than a competitor inc delivery. I always check in this week only for deals but haven't bought anything for a while.

That musta been what i was thinking, im sure mine was Guaranteed to 1ghz or something. I might be wrong.

Either way, that was a long time ago!, was in a Bundle with an Asus motherboard :)
Click to expand...

prolly was 800 > 1ghz, my mate got the 800 > 1ghz in the same order i got the 750.

there was a BIG price jump to hit the highs of 1ghz and i didnt think i needed it. (was to upgrade my trusty celeron 366 on my dual cpu BP6 mobo - total waste as never used the 2nd chip)

i got mine with an abit board..... it was in the era of the "bad caps" i dunno if you remember that cockup (nowt to do with ocuk) but after 2 years or so, the board failed to to all the caps leaking.

spoke with abit who offered to fix for £40 + vat which narked me somewhat as it was clear all over the web that they were substandard parts. i HAVE used abit stuff since but no where near what i used to.

incidently it seems my memory may have been wrong. Just read an interesting thread on the history of ocuk / millenium computers (waiting for a couple of dl dvd to burn hence my mass of posts at mo)

but it looks like 99 was before overclockers were actully overclockers.
