Changing OEM System Manufacturer and System Model details

[Guest]

Hi all,

I am a computer enthusiast and I assemble my own PCs. I wanted to know how
to brand the PC with custom System Manufacturer and System Model settings. I
am aware of the OEMINFO.ini file but that only changes information in the
Computer properties page when you right-click 'My Computer' and choose
properties.

But when you use dxdiag, the System Manufacturer and System Model read "To
be filled by O.E.M". Could anyone please tell me how to go about changing
these settings ? Changing the OEMINFO.ini file does not affect these values.
OEM manufacturers like Dell, Sony have changed the settings on their
products, so I'm sure it's possible.

Thanks,
Amon
