Abit NF7-S v2.0

Thermalright SK-7 w/ Thermaltake Smart Fan II w/ Coolmod
Antec TrueBlue 480w

is all either in my possession or on its way... some is out of stock but all will be in this week

im only posting this because people were interested with the performance of the 1800+ JUIHB DL3TC which was really hard to track down here in the uk... sadly the 1700+ was beyond me

it will look great when finished and hopefully perform well too...

**acidrainy** · 08-09-2003, 12:42 PM

wow, I really want to know what the 1800+ JUIHB DL3TC's can do

looks like you've got a nice specked out rig there to play with, tell us how you do with it when your done!!

**Gristy** · 08-09-2003, 08:19 PM

nice spec. any piccys ?

**Zaphan58** · 08-09-2003, 08:36 PM

Have you already ordered the chip? If not you may want to order a 2500+ barton instead, wre estarting to see some nice steppings on them atlast, some hitting the 2.5GHz range and as they have more cache than a standard XP chip it will smoke it anyday.

Either way though its a very nice rig, may you have fun and many a day overclocking it.

**SilentDeath** · 08-09-2003, 09:06 PM

expect abut 2-2.2 ghz with a 1800+, u may be luckeh though

**Axion** · 09-09-2003, 12:30 PM

like i said its all ordered

the chip, dvd, cdrw, gfx & (touch wood) the tft are all in my possession...

ocuk are out of the truweblue atm but said it would be in stock midweek... so i should have it all by the weekend

rest assured i will get picture happy...

but i havent yet bought the ol' blue cold cathode... rounded cables (which will be either black or metal braid... what dya reckon?) or any other cable tidying stuff... ill have to build & access first!

**Axion** · 09-09-2003, 09:54 PM

the 1760nx bx came today

im using it now on my ol pc... couldnt find any dead pixels! joy!

when my new rig is done it will be tested further

**Axion** · 10-09-2003, 10:41 AM

i spoke to over-clock.co.uk this morning... my pc65b (rev5) is being shipped now... so arriving tomorrow...

now i have to phone ocuk and get angry.... (aside from tekheads - round cabling and.... a floppy drive!) its the only order yet to be dispatched... all that is standing between me and my wonder pc

**Axion** · 10-09-2003, 02:28 PM

grr ive dealt with ocuk... i dont want to ever buy another item from them ever again

awful experience... through things suddenly not being in stock, and the trubelue now being expected NEXT week ive had to ammend my order spending £32 more!

its now an SLK-900 and TruePower 550w - both brilliant but overkill... and over-expense! ANGER!

plus they basically couldnt care less about my situation - i never got an email from them concerning an outstanding order (for over a week) about the stock levels... in fact they decided to sell out of ceramique even though it was on my order (now as3)...

i managed to get my shipping refunded... although i wanted the free upgrade from trueblue--->truepower stil...

However... everything is now expected to arrive tomorrow! damn work prevents me from building it... :S

**praetorian** · 10-09-2003, 02:37 PM

I've just spoken to OCUK as well about the TruePower 480W and they are not expected until the 22nd which is yeah next week

What else did you order for them cause I'm not going to bother placing my order yet if the items I want aren't in stock and get into the situation that you are in

**Axion** · 10-09-2003, 03:02 PM

SK-7 - not for TWO weeks (i know its said 1-3 days on the site for 2.5wks...)

AS Ceramique - errr they dont have a clue when this *might* be back in!

they did have:
NF7-S
Maxtor 120gb 8mb
TwinMos pc3200

yes they did well

i just dont believe how little they cared - they actually said my order was too small for them to consider any free upgrades to things in stock (the trueblue to truepower)
do they actually want my business?
when i told them how annoyed i was at not getting an email informing me of the torrid stock situation i was told
ocuk: "it is not policy to email, but we do in exceptional circumstances"
me: "and that is?"
ocuk: "when there is a particularly long lead time"
me: "i think 2 weeks (SK-7) is a long lead time!"
ocuk: "yes it is - but we didnt email you, did we?"

translation: 'you custom means nothing to us, we should have emailed you, and would have, had we actually cared. we dont want to give you anything and frankly couldnt care what happens to you or your order'

Weird cause they are not normally like that. They have always emailed when they are having stock difficulties etc. I guess that you probably just got an operator who is having either a stressful day or somebody who just doesn't want to be there and are tarnishing the good name of OCUK.

The situation with some of the products like the Antec PSUs, yes they are popular but they could change the state from 4-7 days which has been there too long IMHO to OUT, the same as they have done with the AS Ceramique.

**Axion** · 10-09-2003, 03:37 PM

what about the sk-7? its been saying 1-3days and they know fro a fact its 20days!

plus it was one of the main ocuk people... they guy all the emials come from - i wont mention names but hes not a temp or anything

Good point. Sorry I wasn't meaning to try and make excuses for them. Sometimes they do not update the system correctly and its been noted before by members on their forums and their customers and they have put actions in to place to try and stop it getting that way. Unfortunately though, sometimes things just slip. Its a good job that I don't rely on them solely for products though as I have a vast amount of other stores that I visit aswell and do price checks etc.

**Axion** · 10-09-2003, 04:38 PM

i did the most extensive price check (20+ stores for all components....)

however i wanted to keep the number of places for parts low... and shipping even lower!

forced to get case and cpu from individual specialists...
picked up the cdrw/dvd @ compu fair
monitor - another individual store

ocuk was the only store that stocked ALL of my remaining needs! except of course i later decided to put another order in to tekheads for cabling/floppy drive

i had considered using cpucity for mobo/psu (cheapest) but they charge high shipping so the savings would have been lost

basically in future PHONE to order with ocuk... and expect them to basically say your not spending enough for them to take any problems and/or requests of yours seriously

p.s. the case was bought from www.over-clock.co.uk and they actually opened their boxes up to make sure i got a rev5

now thats nice of them.

**Axion** · 11-09-2003, 03:50 PM

you are not going to believe this!

well my order hasnt come - im at work but my brother is at home...

so i phone this 2nd rate store (ocuk) and ask where my order is - this is having spent extra to get stuff thats IN stock...

well actually two of the items WERENT in stock... it was a bit misfortunate... but hey everyone makes mistakes!

same guy again... says i SHOULD have been phoned this morning about the problem... but ah, i err wasnt - whoops!

anyway he says sorry, and ageres it must be annoying - but doesnt really care about what i should do!

the two items out of stock: my ram - which i originally ordered on the 3rd! so they managed to sell MY ram... and oh the psu (again!) - now the 550w antec is out of stock... so now i have NO psu... tomorrow the ocuk order will come... but still NO PSU! so ill have a ready-to-go pc with no power... great!
