I don't see anything that can be classed as a "quick grabbit" bargain. Can you point out any true bargains in that list please? Cheers

BTW - as most people know by now, DON'T buy from Overclockers!. See here

I agree no bargains on there!!!

charlie12, Romulus2.com does not give perfect picture. I think this site is good, but not many people leave feedback. For example if you look at the number 1 on the list PC retailer - Chillblast, that site has very high prices and did not empress me at all.
OVERLORD, did not link to the bargain or did not give any details. Your nick shows that you are fan of OVERCLOCKERS UK site, but please post only bargain links that real bargains. Sorry, Overlord but we want to see Bargain details to grab it now, like Viking Direct offer 9p for one ream of paper or 90p for 10 reams + MINI HIFI + Cookies + Free delivery.

I not suppost to write here to continue this NON bargain thread.
Moderators, please move this thread to proper place. Thanks!

Isnt this thread effectively SPAM ?
OVERLORD is just using this as a means to improve sales..
Thanks to the poster who linked the bad rep that this company has..
truly shocking.

DONT TOUCH OVERCLOCKERS WITH A BARGEPOLE

Based on personal experience with overclockers, i would never ever,ever,ever,ever,ever,ever,ever,ever,ever,ever, buy anything from them again.

absolutely appalling company.

do a google search and find out.

I frequently use a techie forum, and hardly anyone there has anything good to say about them either.

They are hardly brilliant but I personally have never had any problems with them. Their postage price for starters is quite good.

As for the Romulus2 reviews - remember that everyone on the net is entitled to their opinion, but who in their right mind sends something in the postal system via normal post, NOT recorded if you need to know that its got there?..or simply if you need to have some insurance.

Tuff crowd!

Sorry I didn't get back sooner but I saw comments referring to disapproval here on another site..

ps. I don't work for this retailer or for any shop for that matter. Just thought I'd clear that up. Insunuations can damage a person's rep.

I thought there was a long enough list of items for most to pick from. What do I know?

I thought these stood out from the crowd for a start:-
