    Nope, my own experiences, and those of three of my friends. There's a significant portion of data to suggest OcUK's poor service. They used to be good, but it all went wrong around 2006.
    Who knows, perhaps they've changed since last spring/summer (when most of the problems occurred), but spending as little as an extra 5 pounds to ensure your order arrives seems perfectly logical to me. It is a shame they offer the biggest product range though, a lot of stuff you just have to bite the bullet and hope it turns up.

    I will agree about the Vista issue, it has had more negative publicity than it perhaps diserved, but doesn't every microsoft product?
    I still don't use Vista out of preference because it's still definitely slower than XP without extensive modification, but it's not intolerable or unusable by any means.

    Still, I will use OcUK for my next PC part order and see what happens. If the experience is flawless I will start mentioning them for components again, otherwise my opinion will remain unchanged.

    Yeah it's a good price. Especially because fatality branded stuff is usually expensive.

    Very nice, I wish I knew if the 750W unit was as quiet as the 1K.
