I bought a Mac Mini1 at the beginning of October 2020. I got the higher end model and bumped the processor to the 3.2GHz 6‑core 8th‑generation Intel Core i7, but everything else base -- 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD.

I have often used Norse Mythology as a naming scheme for computers, although I'm also currently using a Pokemon theme for portable devices. This current Mac Mini is named Utgard.2

The rest of my home desktop setup:

  • 32GB of RAM ordered from OWC; the saga of the screwdrivers means that I didn't complete installation until Feb 2021
  • [[eGPU]] enclosure from Razer, with an AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT graphics card with 8GB RAM
  • [[Asus VG289Q Monitor]] 28" 4K monitor
  • Logitech M535 Bluetooth mouse
  • HyperX membrane keyboard: quieter, full size, and permanently wired, so my [[Royal Kludge]] becomes my wireless / portable keyboard. Don't worry, it still has rainbow backlighting!
  • 2TB NVMe drive in an external enclosure, [researched originally Nov 14th, 2020]((Unsupported content elided by the Agora.)), purchased and installed [Nov 24th, 2020]((Unsupported content elided by the Agora.))
  • OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dock with 2x 2TB SSD drives (installed [[February 9th, 2021]]); the fan is very loud, so unplugged for now?
  • Webcam, [detailed Nov 7th, 2020, along with eGPU purchase]((Unsupported content elided by the Agora.))
  • Yeti Blue USB Microphone, which I also plug my Sennheiser Headset into

To research:

  • Wired headphones and digital amp
  • Wrist rest? I have to get the position / height of my hands, the desk, and keyboard set correctly
  • Kneeling chair? The office chair is pretty good, but I'm spending a LOT of time in this room

  1. This is known as the Mac Mini (2018) edition. The Apple Mac Mini page now lists the new Mac Mini with the [[Apple M1]] ARM chip.↩

  2. See Útgarðar on Wikipedia, where you can follow many other Norse mythology references↩
