Installing a Contact Frame

Posted on June 13, 2026June 13, 2026 by Michael Molenda

I failed to do any pre-installation testing, but I know my CPU under load would get over 90 degrees Celsius…. I still need to do full on post-installation testing. Still a fun project. My CPU and the stock contact frame. Fun little project. I enjoyed it. Took less than 30 minutes to do. It should…

My New Home/Work Setup

Posted on April 28, 2025April 29, 2025 by Michael Molenda

Here is a small sample of what my new home/work setup is currently. An overview is above… how I achieved that is down below… I guess I could have tried to get a 3 to 1 switch and maybe I do that in the future, but because I only work from home once a week,…

My New Desk Setup

Posted on April 18, 2025April 18, 2025 by Michael Molenda

I have recently moved my setup to a new desk and cleaned it up quite a bit. This post will go over my complete computer setup. Again, Mac and PC living together in harmony? WHAT??? To make it useful for both my Mac and PC, this selector changes output to either the Mac or PC…

Unboxing My New M4 Mac mini

Posted on April 18, 2025April 18, 2025 by Michael Molenda

I finally decided that even though I was able to make this elaborate “docked” MacBook Air, that it became very frustrating. When it worked, it worked well. But when it didn’t, well, I didn’t take it well. I felt as though I would need a full dock instead of these interconnected hubs and “docks” that…

A Short Story About My New Build…

Posted on April 17, 2025April 18, 2025 by Michael Molenda

After getting my new GPU, I was playing a few games and noticed that the GPU temps were over 80 degrees Celsius… very bad. I thought that I just didn’t have a case that had really good airflow… so, a new case I needed and that’s all I was going to get (forshadowing: it wasn’t)….

It’s been a while… I am back with a few blog posts this week. Going to start with the new GPU I bought in January. The RX 6750XT. The reason I upgraded: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. That game requires 8GB or VRAM; however 12GB or more is recommended AND it also requires ray-tracing….

Office Tour Spring/Summer 2024

Posted on April 26, 2024April 26, 2024 by Michael Molenda

I am so OCD with my office setup. That’s why it keeps changing. I hope this is the last one of this year but with my OCD, probably not. I am so happy with it now. I hope you enjoyed the tour. I had a video but accidentally deleted it. I will have a video…
