Extreme Prometeia ceases trading

Posted at: 3:55am 3rd September 2007 by Ben Hardwidge

A sad day for the extreme overclocking community

Extreme overclocking store Extreme Prometeia has sadly announced that its shop has now ceased trading. Extreme Prometeia had an incredibly friendly and well-informed forum community, and many of its users contributed their ideas to Custom PC features such as Extreme Overclocking and The Power of Cool.

As well as this, Extreme Prometeia submitted its own award-winning overclocked PCs for review in Custom PC, and the site’s forum users have consistently trampled on everyone else on our benchmarks leaderboard for years (look for all the guys with [EP-UK] in their names!)

In a statement on the Extreme Prometeia forum, the site’s owner, Phil Stanbridge, said that ‘it's been a rollercoaster ride for four years, of major highs and depressing lows, but I'd like to thank each and everyone of my customers and my loyal fan base here on the forum, for making EP-UK what it was - a unique hybrid for extreme overclockers in the UK.’

R.I.P Extreme Prometeia.

Were their systems different to the competition though...ie. were they better? shame they went. Been looking at some of their stuff but it was just way too expensive for my needs...

Sad in a way but to be honest, they were way too pricey. I'm saving up for a phase change cooler and having shopped around they were nearly double what scan and others were charging. lower margins would have given them much bigger volume and they might still be trading today, even at the death they wouldn't cut a deal on price. Sad really.
