I recently upgraded to a NVIDIA GTX 980 Ti, but noticed that the performance was severely limited by throttling due to increased temperatures. The ITX housing for Zeratul is rather small for abundant air circulation, so in keeping with my goal for performance in a small form factor, hybrid cooling…
It’s been four years since Tassadar’s birth, but with fellowship fast approaching, I once again took advantage of Black Friday 2016 to assemble an updated rig. Say hello to Zeratul.
After rearranging my desk this morning, I decided to write an update on what has changed since my last “what’s on my desk” post over six months ago. The most recent addition is a Plugable USB 3.0 7-port hub (with dual BC 1.2 smart charging ports). This replaced my obsolete USB 2.0…

One thing I’ve always loved about SteelSeries’ mice is their simple yet functional, ergonomic design. The Rival 700 comes with tactile alerts (yes,…
Happy Halloween! On this rainy Houston afternoon filled with flooding all over the city, I finally had a day off and decided to organize my desk.

With residency around the corner, I wanted to take advantage of Black Friday/Cyber Monday 2012 deals to build a new workstation to power my life as a resident physician. I sought to combine the storage capacity of my FreeNAS box with the versatility of OSX on my previous workstation (“The Overmind”) –…
Counter-Strike is a tactical first-person shooter pitting a team of terrorists (Ts) against counter-terrorists (CTs); rounds are won either by completing the objective (planting the bomb, defusing the bomb, rescuing hostages, etc.) or eliminating the opposing team.
Computers are incredibly useful in recalling vast databases of information reliably and quickly. Knowing this, should we be “teaching” computers medicine? If so, how should we utilize them in the process of working up a patient’s symptoms?
The day has finally come for me to create another network-attached-storage (NAS) for my data. My previous NAS, a DNS-323 unit, has carried me with 2 x 2 TB mirrored volumes for months, but this time around, I had several goals in mind. First, since the file server will be…
