ATEN VS481A 4-port HDMI Switch Review
We have reviewed ATEN products before, as they make great KVM switches. The last one we reviewed was geared towards the PC gamer and included DMI and audio switching. Anyone who has been around home theater for the past twenty years has seen the industry change the video cables from RF cables, RCA, S-Video, component [...]
Acoustibuds Earphone Adapters
There are many many personal audio products available today; the most popular being mp3 players and portable gaming devices. The problem that many of them have are the incredibly cheap and uncomfortable earbuds that come with them. You’ve just shelled out a few hundred dollars for the latest gadget, and you still have to spend more [...]
Sapphire Radeon HD4670 Video Card Review
The gaming industry is a competitive market these days. Everyone has to have the latest thing to keep up with the demanding, hardware sucking games that are being churned out every day with little hesitation. And the video card makers are making a killing off of us. Not just a killing, a freaking massacre. Sure, [...]
Microsoft and The Economy
The Economy sucks, and everyone is taking it in the ass including Microsoft. Sources close to The Empire say that the majority of layoffs for the company are going to be in the X-box division of all things. To be perfectly honest, I think video games are the LAST thing you want to eliminate-in this [...]
Intel and AMD: What Went Wrong
Ever have that feeling that someone with a Heavyweight title just put you in a coma? And when you awoke from that coma everything you thought you knew was no longer a reality? That was the same way I felt when I realized how bad Intel was kicking the crap out of AMD’s booty all [...]
CES 09 Wrap-Up
Ok, CES (Consumer Electronics Show) 2009 was off a little in the number of exhibitors and attendees. So? It was a crappy second half of ’08 folks. No one has been drinking happy juice about the prospects for the next six months! Best guess there were only about 90,000 people at the Vegas show (after 5-10 shows [...]
Antec Veris Multimedia Station Premium Review
We’ve reviewed many Home Theater cases over the years at OCModShop. Some of them have multimedia features that are seamlessly integrated with the case, while many others are nothing more than standard desktop cases with a fancy front panel. There are several cases I have owned that were awesome, but converting them into Home Theater [...]
BudgetGadget 5.1 USB Sound Card
Anyone who knows me can tell you that I love nerdy little gadgets. I’ve gone through my period of USB-powered missile launchers and night vision webcams. I moved on to bigger toys, audio and video hardware that seem to take up tons of room. So much so that I have a shelf next to my [...]
Teknmotion PulseWave Headphones
PC Gamers need to hear in order to play effectively. What good is your genetically-enhanced super-soldier if he doesn’t know to shoot through the wall to take out the hidden zombie horde? If he (or she) walks through that door unprepared, then his (or her) brains are Kibble Chow. Seriously, PC gamers expect a lot [...]
2008 Holiday ANTI-Shopping Guide: 15 Products to AVOID!
Every winter we have to think about what to get our loved (and not-so-loved) ones. There are tons of vendors that try to cash in on our buying frenzy by offering a bunch of stuff that we simply don’t want or need. Since we don’t need it, I guess we assume that other people do. Most [...]
TV Viewing Without the TV Set
Our son has it tougher than we did growing up. Oh sure he’s got his content wherever, whenever he wants. But we had power. We had juice! We had the first color TV in the neighborhood. The best looking gals wanted to be seen with us. The meanest dudes on campus protected us. Our son? All [...]
Pinnacle PCTV HD Mini Review
Ever taken that road trip with the family to that little no-name town to visit that strange smelling relative you barely remember? Ten years ago, it would have been barely tolerable even with your Discman. Five years ago it would have been a little more tolerable because you can fit more music on an iPod [...]
Why PSP is better than iPhone
The Sony PSP and Apple’s iPhone are great little devices, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Apple is starting to tout the gaming capabilities of its portable device, and although there is no direct competition between the two, people are beginning to question the need for a dedicated portable gaming device. We all know that [...]
Antec NeoPower 650 Blue Review
I remember one time about two years ago I was sitting at a my friend’s house. I had brought over my custom PC and we were right in the middle of some hardcore zombie killing. My friend was standing on a ledge on top of a small store, and I was in the street luring [...]
H2O Waterproof Headphones Review
It’s a known fact that the general public loves their music. Anyone can see the success of car audio, satellite radio, MP3 players, CD’s, records, and the like. Only recently has music become portable in a format that works for everyone from athletes to outdoor enthusiasts. One group of people has been consistently left out [...]
ATEN CS1782 2-port DVI KVMP Switch Review
Many PC enthusiasts play video games and do regular computing on the same machine, and we all know that the more software you add, the more cluttered and unstable your computer becomes. Imagine batching up a bunch of videos for compression, and then getting online for some fragging without any slowdown or distractions. This dream can [...]
Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro Stick Review
Recently I was handed a Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro Stick to use on my new Dell Desktop. At first glance, I was amazed that you can tune HDTV signals with a USB device that was so small. The Pinnacle HDTV Pro Stick comes with the following items in the package: If you have a laptop, then [...]

Known for tough, waterproof, unbreakable cases, Otterbox has expanded their product line to include a series of cases for the Apple iPod.
