    Re: Overclock.co.uk throws in the towel

    Man thats sad that . I think this has been coming for a while; for months they have had very little on offer on the website when previously they had quite a nice selection. They were good to deal with too as shaithis stated. I remember I wanted a case which was no longer stocked by them and one of their employees said they could source one for me, which was nice of them.

    That is a crying shame, those guys were so good to deal with. I remember RMA'ing a faulty motherboard to them and having a replacement a day after they received it back.

    You guys will be missed, I always used to check there for the kit I needed.

    Such a pity! I was a regular on the forums there too, which have also been closed. Every time I ordered from them the service was superb...

    RIP to another decent e-tailer.
