I knew i shouldn't have surfed the web

[Donkey]

i was bored so i started innocently surfing the web looking for bits and bobs. ended up at www.overclockers.co.uk (http://www.overclockers.co.uk) and now have an incredible urge to go and spend some money on a new system which i can definitly not afford.
I think i should go and find a dark room to sit in for a while so that i can calm down and try to forget all the lovely things i have seen.

here's a Idea that I do http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif
I started building systems for people that way I get to spend there money http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif
play with all the latest and greatest http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif
and make extra cash to upgrade my system http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

pluse you get to see what works well before ya go spending your hard earned on it http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

True!
but surely that would hurt as much as giving away your first born child!!!
I'm just going to have to wait till i get some cash. At least then the market shuld have moved on and who knows what exciting gadgets lie just around the corner. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif
thanks for the sympathy tho', this dark room is getting a bit lonely!

Hey, check out http://www.theoverclockingstore.co.uk it's a competitor to OCUK.

A lot of peeps have come from OCUK to OCS 'cos they were p*ssed off with OCUK's customer (dis)service. I only ordered one thing from them once and I didn't have any probs, but hearing stories of threads on their BBS being deleted 'cos someone had bad service is not on in my book.

If you are a shop and run a BBS with a 4rum entitled 'service comments' you should be able to take the rough with the smooth. OCS do and do, OCUK used to but I think they've stopped and whenever someone posts 'you've screwed my order up, etc.' the post seems to disappear. OCS in also down the road from me (Sheffield - yeah commuting to Leeds is a tw@), so it's not far to sort any probs out.

OCS's BBS is good fun - prolly a bit more close-knit coming from an ickle diddy country an' all http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif

Fraid I'm in the same situation.... I'm itching to try a VP6 + dual overclocked CC0 700Es, but I'm having a new shower put in and that's costing a bleedin'4tune! (but I need the power for DivX encoding, honest... http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif)

Ahhh..... reaches for the debt card http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif

(they're not credit cards, they're debt cards - use them and you are in debt, not credit....)

Thanks krusty! but i don't think i really need anymore encouragement to part with my overdraft. knowing there is a good store only a few miles away is just too much temptation. I'm going to give my bank manager your email address and blame all future purchases on you! http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif
