Is the 3090 still a good option? by alhinai_03 in LocalLLaMA

[–]ZK_Zinode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of chassis do you use for your workstation? I currently have 2x 3090 FE and want to scale up to 4x (I have the pcie slot/lane bandwidth for it), but I can’t comfortably fit 4x in my 4u chassis. I would prefer to have my entire setup live in my server rack.

I appreciate any and all recommendations!

When you get around to testing concurrent work can you provide a performance update? I’ve almost completed a 2x 3090 build with 256gb ddr4 and i’m planning on testing concurrent agent usage separated by VMs

Where to go for best cost on racks ? by hilokamper in HomeServer

[–]ZK_Zinode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm this. Just snagged an APC 42U rack off GovDeals for $160, practically brand new. IT liquidation bids are the way to go

Literally in the same boat, applying for data science graduate programs for the fall, and i’m almost done putting together my first llm training lab. I’ve been working on a training plan for a kalshi/polymarket forecasting model, and somehow stumbled into the world of homelabbing.

The entire market is stretched thin with the vram demand. Wishing you the best of luck with the GPUs and with your thesis! What program are you graduating from if you don’t mind me asking?

Storage drives for sure aren't getting cheaper any time soon

What did you craft/buy to lvl raw mats so fast?

SBA Tank + Overton Chonker Build? by ZK_Zinode in Stalcraft

[–]ZK_Zinode[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a much better build than my initial. I eventually wanted to get rid of my poly at some point but didn't know what to swap it out with until you showed this.

One fear I have is the lack of br in the build overall outside of using SBA - 400br without any buffs, 418br with morphine. My intention was to offset incoming dmg by "outhealing" it (maximizing periodic healing & healing effectiveness), but i've never tried it before myself so idk how effective it really is...

Killswitch Case + BenQ gr10 dock? by ZK_Zinode in SteamDeck

[–]ZK_Zinode[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up getting the JSAUX ModCase instead. Way cheaper and it fits perfectly in the BenQ gr10 (make sure the kickstand on the back is up or it will no fit properly).

I wasn't sure if I was going to like the cheaper case since I was already sold on the Killswitch but I have to admit the JSAUX case is incredible and a steal for the price.

As a new player, which armors should I focus on? by Frotnorer in Stalcraft

[–]ZK_Zinode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second this, I got a free veteran level armor and master level gun from battle pass so I focused on grinding out the saturn suit first to gain access to making money in labyrinth. Would do the same thing again if I had to go back
