Most Read Articles of the Past Decade
While we get a lot of traffic from articles about heatsinks, cases, motherboards and other PC hardware, there are just some articles that just shoot past all of the others and really stand out. Listed here are the most popular OCModShop articles from the past decade.
NZXT 140mm & 120mm FX Enthusiast Fan Review
Yup, this isn’t a press release or a tease… this is the only review on the new NZXT FX Enthusiast Fan series that I know of on the Internets at the time of this writing. If you’re familiar with the NZXT brand, then you’re probably a loyal customer and not only have a few of [...]
Sentey Optimus GS-6000 PC Case
So, you’re an Incredibly Cheap Bastard and decided that you need a brand-spanking new PC case instead of screwing Ebay sellers for brand-name quality merchandise for a fraction of the cost. Since you’re an Incredibly Cheap Bastard, then not just any old inexpensive case will do: you have to have a really cool-looking case without [...]
Razer Imperator 5600dpi Gaming Mouse Review
One problem with gaming mice is that they’re usually big, heavy, and have lots of buttons. If a mouse is full-featured then is usually comes with a similarly full-featured size. Usually small and ultra-light mice are given away with laptops or are intended for office use, and thus not very powerful or useful. Gaming laptops [...]
OCZ Sabre OLED Gaming Keyboard Review
When you see something new and innovative like an OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) keyboard, one can’t help but compare it to the expensive Optimus Maximus keyboard. The one feature that such a keyboard desprately needs is a drool-guard, as every technophile would hover over its beauty. Unfortunately most of us don’t have over $1000 [...]
Linux Firewall Part 5: The GUI Interface
Now that you have IPcop installed, you need to configure it. IPcop provies you with a web interface in which you can configure nearly all of the settings of your new firewall. To connect, just open up any web browser, and connect to the IP address you set up when you installed the software. The [...]
Razer Sphex Mousepad Review
Remember a few generations ago when civilization thought it had arrived once there were flying cars and lasers all over the place? Well I’m still waiting on my H.P. Hovercraft, but laser technology is so common that it’s in just about everything, including computer mice. The use of a laser sensor (or two) is used [...]
Ulti-Mat Breathe F-X3 Oversized Cloth Mousepad Review
Nearly a decade ago, Tony Montana and computer mice had one thing in common: they were judged by the quality of their balls. Thicker, heavier balls were better at tracking on your desk, but most people had to use cloth mousepads to get the most grip out of their mice. Since the dawn of optical [...]
Razer Salmosa 3G Gaming Mouse Review
I’ve been trying for the last year to get my girlfriend into gaming. No dice. She’s just not that kind of person, I guess. She likes playing Daxter on her PSP, but that’s about all I can get her to do. No WoW, no L4D, but I did hook up a gamepad to her computer [...]
Why Ethernet Needs Jumbo Frames
Whether or not Gigabit Ethernet (and beyond) should support frame sizes (i.e. packets) larger than 1500 bytes has been a topic of great debate. With the explosive growth of Gigabit ethernet, the impact of this decision is critically important and will affect Internet performance for years to come. Most of the debate about jumbo frames [...]
Razer Carcharias Headset Review
Today we`ll be looking at the Razer Carcharias, a self-proclaimed “Professional Gaming Headset”. We all know Razer for their gaming mice, but recently they have also began making audio related products, of which the humble gaming headset can’t be left out. The box claims that these headsets deliver ”True-to-Life Gaming Audio, Superior clarity and deep, thumping [...]
Linux Firewall Part 4: Installation
For the purposes of this turotial, I am making several assumptions. I am assuming that your green network is 192.168.1.x and your orange network is 192.168.15.x. If you want a different network config, then modify as necessary. If you already have an Internet Router that you’re intending to replace, I recommend some prep-work to make things [...]
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 [...]
Razer DeathAdder 1800dpi Mouse for Mac Review
Apple users are the most hardened group of gamers on the planet. There are so many games available for the Mac platform that you just can’t count them all. They have such hits as World of Warcraft, Warcraft 3, Black and White 2… um…. well, they have a bunch of solitaire and board games, that’s [...]
NZXT Tempest Gamer Case Review
PC Gaming is a serious business. Maybe it’s because PC gamers are constantly upgrading their hardware and are usually on the cutting edge (if not bleeding edge) of the latest PC technology. PC gamers not only require their hardware to be fast, but look cool at the same time. There is a degree of one-upmanship [...]
ECS EliteGroup GeForce 6100PM-M2 V2.0 Motherboard Review
The funny thing about how expensive technology is, is that as soon as you buy something that costs $300, it’s automatically obsolete and is worth roughly 1/3 of the original price. Actually, it was pretty much obsolete the moment you bought it. The world of the PC DIYer is a fantastic world, but the price [...]
Coolink GFXChilla VGA Heatsink Review
I’m always looking for the right balance between proper cooling and noise output. Remember the old cases and cpu coolers you used to get that where so loud it was plain stupid, luckily things have gone a long way and we have abandoned 40/60mm screamer fans (remember the old Deltas? ) but today still I have [...]
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 [...]
X-OOM Media Centre XE for Wii
Digital videos and photos are no longer in the realm of the geek. Nowadays even the average person has a large collection of digital music, movies,and videos… and these are usually located on the family computer. What if you want to watch your movies or share your latest vacation photos in your living room? Not [...]
