Help us help you

We are in talks with some retailers (and you've already seen some offers) and we really want to get you some offers YOU want.

We would like your opinions on what we can do for you...what would be good offers...what you want to buy...what would be good to have available to OC3D members

The Free pnp offer with SpecialTech is obviously on and I think a great offer...

So come on: Give us your ideas

cooling, everyone wants better cooling, what about sorting something out with a watercooling site?

 

[FarFarAway]

OK so what if we have a watercooling site on the menu...what cooling?

Swifttech blocks? GPU/CPU??

 

[Dav0s]

some good offers on web hosting could be good, i have a contact if u fancy a chat kemp

Web hosting? This is for retailers dood

Not to sound selfish, but I would truly appreciate anything in the US. Maybe something like tigerdirect (I know TG themselves would be hard to get) where they have multiple warehouses. Then again, I probably won't be purchasing anything until late this summer so...

 

[llwyd]

really just anything that would encourage people to move onto water cooling from air, so yea, blocks would be best i suppose

 

[WC Annihilus]

Yes, something in the US certainly would be nice Newegg is cool, though being in CA I'm fairly put off by tax... Maybe Monarch Computers? Jab-Tech? Iono...

^ Cheap bugger

I think monarch would give something though, they seem cheap, what about ZZF?

 

[WC Annihilus]

But they have tax too Just to say, Tom from Mushkin says Monarch is somewhat hard to deal with. We could always try though <shrugs>

 

[MikeEnIke]

ZZF is a kick ass store. That would be awesome as long as the deal lasts like 6 months

A sweet deal with a video card vendor would be sweet for me right now (how about Nvidia )!!

but, for overclock3d it's gotta be a company that pushes components aimed at overclocking, so yeah a water cooling company would be suitable....

Definitely a vid card manufacturer It'd be cool to target case manufacturers like Cooler Master, Lian Li etc, motherboard manufacturers DFI, ASUS, and even some software houses Eset, Mad Onion/ Futuremark. Even if it meant initially just getting group discounts for members as a means of getting our foot in the door. Do we still have the OCZ ram specials available that we had at SX?

The main issue that I encounter personally in Australia, is that when I want to get gear, quite often it's not available here. I'd be more than happy to purchase Internationally, but companies like Newegg etc won't ship here. And if I want to get the gear that I want, I have to either encroach on someone from the forum to purchase for me or wait. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that if we get these retailers/ hardware and manufacturers previously mentioned onboard, it'd be cool to have the provision made available for International purchase. I'd sure as hell support them in any way possible if they made this inclusion to their shipping policies, as long as it were economically viable to do so of course. But then again, Australia is prolly too insignificant in the grand scheme of things

We should strike up a deal with Lian Li or Mountain Mods

MM is a homebrew company so they probably would be pretty easy to deal with and get something set in stone... Maybe a 25% discount on cases or free shipping perhaps?

Other stores we could definately get a hookup with would be Jab Tech and Sidewinder computers. Gary over at Sidewinder is a great guy, he gave me a great deal on the fans for my brackets when I put in that order.

Keep thinkin of more stores
