Excellent priorities. When building a $12K-$15K basement AI supercomputer, the money goes into the GPUs and making the critical functionality perform (PCIe retimer card?!)... but the monitoring console can be an old beige CRT, like people pay to have hauled away from the curb. :)

(Perhaps you could add prices to the bill of materials page?)<p>> I’ll have to total it all up, I’m a little more low key when it comes to that sort of thing so I was kind of avoiding showing that. But maybe I’ll throw it in the FAQ
Great guide. Really surprised air cooling is enough. My single 4090 kicks out enough heat that it’s a miniature heater for my room. Also, only 512Mb RAM??
I come you can find the Foundation model with blower style fan. I’ve been scouring 4 of them for a 4x build.
I have the other style of fan in a dual build and the heat dispensation is bad.
It's a shame they won't make a pcie mi300x. It has about the same amount of compute/memory as this and if the rumor mill is right it would cost almost the same.
