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.
Vantec SuperSpeed USB 3.0 PCI-e Host Card Review
Computer technology never stands still for long. It wasn’t that long ago that USB took over as the de facto standard for PC computer peripherals, and has evolved into the standard data path for hard drives, cameras, and just about everything else you can think of. USB 2.0 is well and good, but it still doesn’t [...]
Change the Windows 7 Logon Background
Do you sneer at people who use the default Windows desktop? If you want to set yourself apart from your grandma that uses Windows XP’s Luna theme, then one of the first you do to your Operating System is make it your own. You’ve probably already skinned your Aero desktop and now need to customize your logon [...]
WindowBlinds 7 Review
One of the neatest features of Windows XP was the ability to customize the interface to any theme you could conceive. You could even do this without special software if you performed a few simple tasks. When Windows Vista was introduced, it touted a new hardware-accelerated desktop, called Aero (which stands for Authentic, Energetic, Reflective [...]
Resident Evil 5 for PC Preview
There were several vendors at PAX 09 that were showing off Resident Evil 5 for the PC. Of course, the Capcom booth was featuring the latest zombie shooter, and nVidia was showing how it worked with their exclusive 3d technology. I spoke with the Microsoft rep at the Games for Windows section about how the [...]
Improving Video Quality with CUDA
Technology moves so quickly that almost everyone has analog (tape) and digital video they want to save and enjoy. Even with today’s low-cost, high quality cameras and ubiquitous camphones is that the results are usually less than great viewing quality. Unless you’re carrying a bank of photo lights around the video is usually a little on [...]
Editing ‘All Programs’ list in Vista’s Start Menu
Like many nerds, I’m very particular about organization. I like to have all of my video programs located under a ‘Videos’ directory, my development stuff in one ‘Development’ directory, and so on. It doesn’t seem like too huge a request, does it? In Windows XP, you could create new folders, drag icons, and delete links [...]
How to Watch TV on a Mac
Mac or Macintosh is a brand name for different kinds of computer produced by Apple, Inc. Production of Mac includes all aspects of hardware and own operating system already installed.

Raxco PerfectDisk 10 Review
PerfectDisk 10 is a nifty new program that I’ve been testing out extensively over the past few days. Essentially, it is a defragment program, and one might say “Well, Windows already comes with a way to defrag my hard drives, how much more can this do?” PerfectDisk 10, however, is the defrag equivalent to a [...]
How to get rid of unused device drivers in Vista
As you add more experiment with more hardware on your computer, you no doubt upgrade your components, or just lose interest in some. Windows adds drivers to items you didn’t even think had drivers, like monitors and USB flash drives. It retains these records just in case you attach the device again. Even if you think [...]
Windows 7 Interview
With the pending release of the latest Microsoft Windows operating system, I like many other PC users have questions about the latest system currently known as Windows 7. I recently was able to speak with a Microsoft spokesperson for the new OS who took the time to provide us at OCModShop with this interview. OCMS: [...]
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 [...]
Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 X2 Review
OH. MY. GOD. That was my initial reaction when looking upon the new Sapphire HD 4850 X2 video card. nVidia and ATI are constantly feuding. These bitter PR battles have resulted in a new more powerful video cards every six months or so. This is both good news and bad news for PC gaming enthusiasts. On one [...]
PowerColor X1600 Pro Video Card Review
Okay, time for another round of in-your-face video card action. There are several video cards on the market right now that will show you a good time. Some do it for a little more, some do it for a little less. But just like a trip to Vegas, what really matters is the quality of [...]
My Take on Microsoft’s I’m a PC Commercials
Nearly everyone is familiar with the barrage of Apple ads. They mainly feature two characters that are meant to iconify a typical Apple and PC user. Of course, the Apple character is a cool twenty-something dude and the PC (played by humorist John Hodgman) is an outdated business-person who just can’t be as cool. These [...]
Xbox 360 Controller for Windows
I’ve been looking for the perfect gamepad ever since I had a PC, which was way before the original Doom debuted. Back then, the Super Nintendo presented its revolutionary controller, and many companies like Gravis tried to create knock-off solutions for the PC gamer. They were quite innovative at the time and had several improvements [...]
Saitek Aviator (AV8R) Flight Stick
Most PC gamers play with a keyboard and mouse, frankly because most PC gamers are either casual gamers or are playing First-Person-Shooters at their local LAN party. But there are times when you need a custom controller for a particular type of game. For PC gamers, an Xbox 360 controller works just great (read our [...]
