I decided to dive into the world of small form factor (SFF) cases for my new PC, dubbed Vulcan. Here’s a comparison of all of the PC cases I’ve built in with the format: PC name – case type – empty case weight – case volume I retained Ghost’s RTX…
Around this time last year, I wrote a post outlining my 2022 productivity workstation. Since then, I’ve made significant changes, including the desk, monitors, and peripherals. I utilize every item listed for tasks ranging from content creation, media consumption, programming, video conferencing, and general-purpose computing. Here’s an outline of what…
I’ve been using the DELTAHUB Carpio 2.0 wrist rest with my Logitech MX Master 3S for roughly a month. Initially, moving my hand between the mouse and keyboard shifted the Carpio 2.0 slightly each time to have it align with my palm. Now that I’ve become used to it, I…
It’s embarrassing how many different microfiber cloths I’ve stashed away over the years. Some are too small to use to clean larger screens practically, and others are too slick to remove grime effectively. I wanted to standardize these essential items for cleaning electronics. I spent $15 on MagicFiber microfiber cleaning…
I’ve had a pair of American Society of Echocardiography posters hanging next to my desk for the last few years. Although I’m a huge echo nerd, they took up valuable space beside my productivity workstation. It was time for a change! Pegboards are nice because they are easy to customize…

I’ve been using the Sony DualSense controller over the years for various games on my PC, and more recently, PlayStation 5. Several of these controllers had to be replaced due to “stick drift.” Rather than continuing with this trend, I opted to give Sony’s new DualSense Edge™ controller a shot.…
As part of Amazon Prime’s Early Access Sale, I purchased a 500 GB Samsung T7 SSD to upgrade my Tesla’s 128 GB dashcam USB storage in terms of capacity and, if the forums out there are accurate, reliability. So far, so good!
My iMac Pro’s 2017 components were beginning to show their age – especially in an era where Apple has nearly completed its transition to its “Apple silicon” optimized for macOS and a growing suite of applications. I decided to go with the Apple Mac Studio with upgraded hardware. I retained…
Coming from a Drobo 8D Thunderbolt 3 direct-attached storage (DAS), I wanted to preserve the benefits of transfer speed when moving to my Synology DS1821+ network-attached storage (NAS). My iMac Pro’s 10-gigabit ethernet (10GbE) port connects directly to the 10GbE Synology card (pictured above) with a CAT8 cable I pulled…
