    CellShock will be no more?

    "it has been confirmed yesterday that there will be no more Cellshock memory made. The parent company MSC Vertriebs GmbH is still in business and probably going strong: http://www.msc-ge.com , however they decided to put an end to the whole cellshock enthusiast memory brand. It was to be expected to be honest; however it is still sad as they made some real good enthusiast memory."

    Loved their memorys.. QC were excellent and the black 1800 sticks were nothing less then spectacular for OCing and compatibility.

    Sad news...

    I liked Cellshock, but I had heard about their terrible marketing practices. Just not a smart company when it came to do business with the enthusiast market.

    I always wanted to buy some of their ram. I was looking at their triple channel 6GB pack of DDR3.

    Sadly it's madly over-priced so I'll never get to see how good they were.

    I love my Cellshocks'. Does this mean they will no longer guarantee their sticks? I hope not.

    Wasn't CellShock Europe only for the most part? German company specifically right?

    I always wanted to get some myself but never saw it listed in the U.S. Looks like now it's too late for me.

    Cellshock is a memory brand from MSC Gmbh (a german company)

    Sly_Fox, Don't know if cellshock was Europe only, but I'm sure that would have been difficult to find them out of Europe...

    maybe some french/german e-tailer have them in stock

    Ah OK, that's pretty much what I figured. Too bad to see a (presumably) good company go down. I always thought their name was cool too.
