In 1994, O'Connor renamed LRO Computers Sales "Other World Computing" (OWC), which operates doing business as NCDC. The company then moved into a 2,500-square-foot office space, which expanded to about 6,500-square feet over the next eight years. In 1993, LRO Computer Sales incorporated in the state of Illinois under the name New Concepts Development Corporation (NCDC). In 1992, LRO Computer Sales shifted focus to computers by offering hard drives to its customers.

The company moved into its first facility in Woodstock, Illinois and hired its first employees. A year later, LRO Enterprises reorganized into LRO Computer Sales and began selling computer memory chips via America Online. In 1988, at age 14, Larry O'Connor began LRO Enterprises, a printer ribbon re-inking business, in his family's barn.
