Hey boys, I picked up a ryzen 9 9950x, 64gb ram, a ton of storage (nvme, ssd, and 2 spinning disks), to build out my home server/AI lab.
Bros, I did not know the GPU situation. I thought I did, but I did not. I'm going to set up kube and plex, immich, and I'm going to get deep into a bit of networking, and all that good stuff until I decide which GPU to buy.
I'll probably pull the trigger on a renewed 3090 from Amazon, but I wanted to throw it by some knowledgeable guys first. It's really for learning. I run the gamut at work from app dev to deployment, but it's a) proprietary software (even the custom solutions where I get to be creative are limited to that) and b) not as deep as I would like. So this is all for learning and fun and to eventually get the Coolsixtyniner crew totally off Google.
What do you think? Pull the trigger on a renewed 3090? Go to microcenter every Saturday in the morning and see if get lucky for a 1k over msrp 5090?
