    i got a Black Hydrolic case and after trying to install a 120mm Fan at the top while drilling the holes for the screws the dril slipped and scratched up the top of the case :(. I managed to fix it up with some black marker but still looks messed up.

    After installing my new 350w Enermax and powerd my system the it blew up and the whole power in my flat went and smoke came out the PSU and the plug fuse also started smoking!!. Luckly my motherboard survived i thought it was dead for sure the amount of smoke came out from my PC. it's not my day today :( i hope tekeads give me a replacement.

    damn that's nasty when that happens - happened to someone I knew...I'd just built them this computer and it all worked fine, they took it home and it blew up, BANG, and took the main circuit breaker with it.
    I got a terrible reputation for building PCs after that...wasn't my fault tho, the voltage selector switch must have slipped to 120V :(

    yup, you are entirely correct

    But there's a slight difference between them now in that Tekheads base prices are lower but they charge delivery, whereas all OCS' prices are a bit higher, but the delivery is free.

    That's right, I often work out roughly what I want then do a shopping basket in each store, and go with the cheapest.

    if you're buying a lot of small things, tekheads is normally cheaper.

    OCS has the wonderful advantage of 'the price you see is the price you pay' - and I do like that.

    and of course, the products they carry are not identical, so you may be better off getting from one place jsut because they have this or that bit that you wanted that the ther place don't sell.
