It’s official, we’re getting old. Overclockers UK turns 25 this year, and we’re finding plenty of ways to celebrate.

All you have to do to activate this late 90’s aesthetic is toggle the secret button.

Enjoy stepping back into 1999, and keep your eyes peeled for more celebrations coming soon.

[Oh Ed not again.]

1999 prices......?

Sure, but you can only buy AMD Thunderbird era kit.

Maybe run them in sli to be able to play minesweeper.

Aww it's just the same site with a diff theme, got my hopes up then it brought back the old easier to use layout

You have to disable adblock.

Its just dark mode for the site but the item backgrounds stay white lol

Unsure if this is just me but if you go to PC Components along the top and click on AMD Processors or Intel processors it does nothing. Clearance processors work when clicked.

Have tried via Chrome and Edge with the same issue, even tried on another PC as well (Work laptop and my desktop PC both have this issue)

Had to disable Ublock Origin to see it

Can we have 1999 prices, maybe some old 1999 stock as well. Would love to grab some relics.

 

[SirConfused]

1999 stock would definitely not be at 1999 prices any more... that stuff would be antique prices now!

Love the logo though, what a nostalgia trip.

 

[Zefan]

1999 prices......?

You can already see approximately this, adjusted for inflation, in today's prices

 

[seabiscuit]

So where's the OcUK burger CD wallet, and the car cleaning products?

 

[Mr Gimp]

It slightly terrifies me that I remember my first orders in college from OcUK, and here I am now almost pushing 40 :O

Bring back the old style "this week's special offers" page which, if I'm remembering correctly, had grand total of 10 items each week at a special discount ... I remember checking it each week to see if anything I was thinking of upgrading made it to the list!

 

[Monkeynut]

1999 prices......?

I don't fancy paying £70 for 4GB of DDR1 tbh!

 

[Dougsnake]

adds fop38 to basket and earplugs....

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Homeworld
Sim city 3000

Absolutely loved this!

I remember paying £320 for 4x4MB of second hand SDRAM in the early 90s (was running OS/2 and just upgraded from 386sx to 486dx!) and thinking that that was a bargain.
