    1. Tell us something we dont already know.

    2. I hope you dont talk like you write as you will suffocate. Take a breath

    Now you have said that, perhaps you have in vested interest in doing so or an axe to grind?

    Perhaps they fired you and you are not happy about it?

    Please no offence intended it is not a slur, just thought the need to ask it.
    Honour in peace,

    Can I just say I've ordered from overclockers uk, once and was nervous about it to say the least and even emailed ocz to see if I would be able to get a replacement off them directly if anything did go wrong with my ram and they said that would be fine, my advice is feel free to buy from them BUT be prepared for the worst if it comes to rma'ing something

    feel the impending deletion of this thread.

    A 1 message account is not the sort of thing we need to see people posting about. Why post this on hexus if you've not got an account etc.

    No mods online at the moment though... It probably will go... but that's mainly due to historical reasons.

    as my post above says if you are lucky enough for your items to get to you intact or usable then good but if you are one of the 100-200 people aday that call up with problems you are doomed to been spoke to badly and not having it sorted for a good while. and RMAs why and i mean why do they send the items back with *tested for 3hours no problems found please check your hardware* and not explain anything? basicly if you RMA nefin you will mostlikly get it back the same

    Dear Sir,
    I hope this mail meets you in good health and spirit.I am Jacob Ruwa, a Sierra Leonean. Presently, I live as a refugee in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, West Africa, with my younger sister, Amina.I am a victim of war and the son of late Dr.Dennis Ruwa, the assassinated former assistant director ofSierra Leone gold and diamond mining corporation ...
    My father was killed with other government officials during official hours when the rebel troops stormed and raided the mining corporation office at the heat of the crisis in mycountry.

    A few weeks later, the rebels also invaded our residential building in whichmy mother and two of our security men were killed in the compound while I was out for a special research program and my younger sister was in the school.
    I had a singular shock and trauma, which compelled us to flee from the country to Ivory Coast by the help of an army colonel who, is a close friend of my late father.

    I am contacting you now because of the present difficulty I am facing.
    Unfortunately, my father's two accounts in Sierra Leonean, have recently been frozen. However, this did not affect the Bank in Cote d'Ivoire.West Africa Where My late father deposited (US$ 12.5m)declared to belonging to his foreign business partner.I have every information anddocument needed for the clearance of the money in the Bank here in Abidjan.

    I want you to act as the beneficiary of the fund for easy and smooth clearance. You will no doubt be adequately compensated with 20% a part of this money for your personal use and benefit as well as a percentage of profit from investment of the fund. Also you will help I and my sister to comes over to your country at the earliest possible time to contunie our education.The Infromation below is what i reqire from you

    1)Your full name
    2)your telephone
    3) fax number

    for onward and future urgent communication. again to enble me submit you details to the bank as my late Fathre's foreign business partner/beneficiary.

    I am making this request to you with tears in my eyes and I feel that God Almighty will touch you with his spirit to listen to my cry for help and answer me without delay since our breadwinner is no more and this is the only hope for life. our positive response will give me the greatest joy and relief.
    Regards,
    Jacob Ruwa.

    It's nothing new here. We just don't use the forums to flame them, especially OCUK.

    There is a review thing for companies that hexus use to reflect peoples purchases. Its much better to use that. Especially as you've only just joined the forums and could be anyone. People who buy components usually are well aware of OCUK's reputation.

    I ordered some stuff, it arrived promptly in excellent condition - so far, no problems at all.
