    Sounds like someone's fleeing the country if those allegations turn out to be true.

    Am I way off the mark or was Box run by David Ross, formerly of Hexus and erstwhile saviour of bit tech?

    You're thinking of BoxFX which is part of Corsair now.

    Rather weirdly just after reading this apparently I had an email that a 450w corsair Psu is being sent to me from CCL on ebay, um nope definitely didn't order one.

    Feckin vulture scammers.

    The past history of the site, if I recall correctly, is that it used to be the British Telecom store. There used to be 2 stores with identical web layouts, one was "company I can't remember", the other was BT. Then they closed the other one and just had BT store, then it was sold/bought and called box "something", then just box.co.uk. I've used them a bunch, great for monitors and b-grade stuff

    There's a "Atari 400 Mini" coming down the line, if that helps?
