Fill the screens of their monitors with pictures of the sexy womenz? Are they trying to temp sexually frustrated people into splashing the cash so they can watch high def porn? or so they can aqquire said sexy womenz?
 
Sex sells.........:rolleyes:

True in attracting attention in general. Posters, Magazine covers, etc.

But there is no evidence that such is true in the manner it is used by OCuk. After all do you buy the monitor with the most appealing woman on? I think not.

There is evidence but I can't recall where I saw it, that such could damage sales. Many women baulk at such pictures and are offended by them. Which can not only make then click away from such a page but also make their partners instantly do such for fear of apparently oogling the beauty on the page and getting it in the neck.

http://www.quantcast.com/overclockers.co.uk (US stats only) & http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/overclockers.co.uk - Neither are 100% accurate but give a rough estimate on demographics and show that that there are many more male visitors than female. I'm sure OCUK will have done some form of AB testing to come to the conclusion that they sell more hardware with sexy pictures than with without. If not then they should do.
 
At the risk of sounding extremely unmanly, I would prefer it if they had no image at all on it. Well at least an image or two of the monitor without the images on, so we can actually see the screen itself. Does that make any sense?

To counter that, I actually like the cars on some of them...
