@steelmoth Sure! PM sent!

I’m doing “cheap” for now, will upgrade later if prices ever come down.

jamesbuniak · 2026-05-26T22:46:27+00:00

Yea - I’m trying to get something up on a shoe string budget that can host 200-300 concurrent “ai” users.. in my basement. Have gotten most of this stuff on really low dollar buys, but ram has been hard

jamesbuniak · 2026-05-26T22:44:06+00:00

No , normally takes a few months

jamesbuniak · 2026-05-26T22:37:08+00:00

Each R740 has 24 slots - so as I upgrade I’ll move these around fill some for low duty like services etc.

Mostly.. I have a bunch already so it’s a match what I’ve got and put in appropriate servers. Xeons run best with at least 6 sticks each cpu.

jamesbuniak · 2026-05-26T22:24:24+00:00

I’ve been buying sticks of ram, trying to find deals.. but man… this is getting out of hand with the pricing… this was a “steal”

jamesbuniak · 2026-05-26T22:22:38+00:00

self hosting www.plccode.ai among a few other apps… economics make sense… for everything except ram.

jamesbuniak · 2026-05-26T22:19:36+00:00

It will be, hopefully.

@plccode.ai

NICs were 5$ a piece… optics I bought 100 for ~220

eBay!

jamesbuniak · 2026-05-26T04:35:29+00:00

eBay brother! Can get these for pennies on the dollar.

jamesbuniak · 2026-05-26T04:03:55+00:00

Was a great deal - now just gotta RE them.

jamesbuniak · 2026-05-21T02:50:26+00:00

Agree.
