Most people know that the original nForce motherboard were pretty disappointing after all the hype had been generated about them. With that said nVidia did a great job with the nForce 2 motherboards I can say after reading many reviews so I am looking forward to this review. Abit has long been a very high [...]

AOpen AX4PE Max
The Pentium 4 scene has changed several times since the chip was first introduced. Some of these changes caused many users to stray to AMD’s (at the time) more stable architecture, attractive price, and competitive performance. It appears now that the politics over the Pentium 4 have ceased, the architecture matured, and the cost of [...]
X-Sonic Case
Case-Mod sent over another case for me to review called the X-Sonic. Usually I don’t like pre-modded cases but I wanted to give this one a chance. Personally I don’t like pre-modded cases most of the time because I like doing the work myself. There are however people out there who don’t want to do [...]
MSI K7D Master-L Motherboard Review
The reason I am reviewing this motherboard is because my hosting company was not able to meet my needs so I decided to build my own server. My hosting was being provided by Nexpoint.net until they started to give me problems. They were saying that the overload load on their server was caused by my [...]
EPoX 8K9A2+ Motherboard Review
I have always been a fan of EPoX motherboards and have used them a lot because of their stability, features, and overclockability. I reviewed the EPoX 8K3A+ a while back here at OCModShop which used the VIA KT333 chipset. This is the EPoX 8K9A2+ motherboard which uses the KT400 chipset. The VIA KT400 chipset brings [...]
Vantec Stealth 470w PSU
Vantec has come out with their first power supply and it is in a class by itself. These Stealth power supplies are designed to give you stable power with silence. This power supply is the first one that I have seen to have three fans inside, it also has a three-speed fan control switch to [...]
Koolance Exos Watercooling Kit
Watercooling is becoming more and more popular everyday. People are wanting to overclock their CPUs as fast as possible and with as little noise as possible. With traditional air cooling the only way to get very low temperatures is to use a high speed fan which will produce a lot of sound. The Exos is [...]
Koolcase Blue Meany Case
I have been seeing more and more cases with acrylic fronts and windows due to the fact that people are tired of the normal beige case and want something cooler. This case looks a lot like both of the Enermax cases that I have reviewed in the past. This case has the same kind of [...]
Zalman 300A-APF PSU
Today I look at yet another Zalman product, the Zalman 300A-APF power supply. Zalman is of course dedicated to quiet cooling so a lot of their products try to provide the best cooling at the lowest noise level which I really like. By implementing heat-sensor circuitry that controls the cooling fan’s speed (rpm) in relation [...]
SVC Glacial Cooler 21
If you remember I did a review on another heatsink with almost the same name as this one, the SVC Glacial Cooler 68. Well this is the SCV Glacial Cooler 21, it is not designed to be an overclocking heatsink and only supports up to a 1800+ CPU. It is a very simple design, almost [...]
OCZ Dominator2 Heatsink
Even though OCZ may not have the best customer services the fact that they make good products still remains. OCZ makes high quality products for overclocking and cooling purposes and I still use an OCZ Gladiator on my server. Now Lets take a look at the OCZ Dominator² Heatsink Here is a front shot of [...]
Zalman CNPS6000-AlCu
I took a look a the Zalman CNPS6000-Cu heatsink back in April, now we take a look at its little brother, the CNPS6000-AlCu. The only thing that is different between the 6000Cu and 6000AlCu is the fact that the 6000Cu is made completely of copper while the AlCu is made of copper and aluminum. There [...]
Enermax CSX305ILS Case
Enermax is probably best known for their power supplies but lately they have been expanding into other areas of computers. They have started selling some really cool cases and are moving more to the case modding section of cases rather than the plain old boring beige boxes. This case comes in either black or aluminum [...]
Enermax CS-003-A106 Case
Enermax has long been known as a high quality manufacturer of power supplies, however they also make computer cases. This Enermax CS-003-A106 case is a really nice, it comes with an Enermax 300w Pentium 4 ready power supply. It has a top and side blow hole, and has lots of other areas where you can [...]
Thermaltake Volcano 7+ Heatsink
Thermaltake has been around for a while now in the heatsink game. This heatsink is the newest in the Volcano line, the Volcano 7+. The Volcano 7+ is made of a solid copper piece with many thin fins. This heatsink is a universal Cooler which means it can be used on AMD Thunderbirds, Durons, [...]
Domestickers Case Badges
Glen over at www.domestickers.com was kind enough to give me my first review material for my website. He owns and operates domestickers.com. At the time of this review he has over 120 different case badges that he has designed and made. These case badges are not your ordinary sticker with a little color on them. [...]
How to cut a blowhole
Cutting a blowhole in your case is probably one of the easiest case mods and one of the most effective for cooling down the inside of your case along with the CPU. You can put the hole anywhere in the case that it will fit. If you are an overclocker, especially with AMD you know [...]
Koolcase Prince Case
It’s been a while since my last case review and I’m glad to say the time has come for another one, Koolcases sent over one of their cases which is called the “Prince” it is a black deluxe tool-less ATX mid tower with a 300w Pentium4 ready power supply, it also has two front-access USB [...]
Zalman CNPS 5100-Cu Heatsink
Like I have mentioned in my previous Zalman reviews, when I went to their grand opening they gave me a lot of their products to review. This is the Zalman CNPS 5100-Cu, it is made of pure copper and is a radial design heatsink which is more “congenital” at least compared to their flower coolers. [...]
HighSpeed PC Athlon XP Unlocking Kit
Unlocking Durons and Thunderbirds was an easy task to do, all you needed was a pencil. With the new Athlon XP CPUs this is not possible anymore. When AMD cuts the L1 bridges on top of the CPU with their laser it cuts into the CPU itself and goes down far enough to expose the [...]
