Projects in need of some love

GPU Server

The GPU Server is almost ready, but it needs some more hardware to be actually up and running to play around with AI

Item Description Purpose / Use Example link(s)
2Tb SSD * 4 AI models have to be on fast storage, currently we only have a small SSD that just doesn't cut it. It'd be nice to have 4 of these to end up with ~5,2 TiB of usable storage. RAIDz1 redundancy

PSU GPU cables Enermax modular power supply GPU cables, maybe someone has some laying around...
NanoKVM PCIe Remote control our servers, supports tailscale VPN, we can fix stuff remotely if it ever breaks Must be bought from Taobao, as it costs 35€ instead of 100€ on Amazon.

Nice to have-s

Item Description Purpose / Use Project
