that was my POS MSI K7T Pro2A... it blew up two more times after that before i decided to ditch it and switch to something else.

on a slightly related and vaguely interesting note: i was the first ever person that bought a 1.2GHz tbird from DragonPC :)

[Geek4Life]

Jeepers, sure does look a lot nicer now.

I see Spider played more of a role in the forums then as well.

[shag]

Wow, I even remember some of those threads:eek:

If I remember rightly I was member number 86 or something like that... So just how long has this site been running for? Was it just a couple of members for a long time till the word got out or did it all happen prety quickly?

Anyways, I found OCNZ while searching for pc hardware sites. What a find! I hate to imagine where I'd be right now if i'd never found it.... Maybe I'd like have a life by now or something :D

that's being a bit optimistic don't you think? :p

[swiftynz]

the web archive of ocnz seems to have shrunk a bit. i remember there being more than that... *shrug*

i think i got to about 30 posts on that first forum before the switch to the last one where i accumulated about 1100 posts. that forum was a huge improvement over the old one and now this one is even better again! :)

it's such a shame that the last one went down before all the data could be saved, there were some really useful threads.
