You can save a ton of money by building your own machine.
The server we sell is packaged with software we wrote that makes administering significantly easier. We also provide technical support and even a limited amount of free machine learning consulting. The customers who purchase this server want a headache free solution and aren't as price sensitive as a lone researcher.
- jjn2009 9y agoheres a part list to build a pc with 1080ti's: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Jjn2009/saved/#view=McvMpg https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Jjn2009/saved/#view=McvMpg notice the custom part box accounts for two more GPUs, I'm not sure why the site doesn't let you add 4 to the GPU section. This setup ranges from $5250 with 4 GPU to $3240 with 1 GPU. You might want to bump up the PSU for 4 GPU its currently 1500 watts, which may or may not be enough at max load. The article shows a max of ~2800 watts with 8 GPUs
- dgacmu 9y agonice - btw, the Rosewill Tokamak 1500 from newegg is a way to save a few bucks on that build, though it's out of stock (they just had it on sale). It's also 80+ titanium.
- p1esk 9y agoActually, that's a pretty bad config: Mobo does not support 4x16 PCIe lanes (that's why they didn't want you to add 4 GPU cards). Mobo is limited to 64GB RAM. $520 for two 256GB 840 Pro SSDs? Seriously? Here's a better mobo: https://www.amazon.com/Motherboards-X99-E-WS-USB-3-1/dp/B00XUDLXJG/ https://www.amazon.com/Motherboards-X99-E-WS-USB-3-1/dp/B00X... Also, you can literally double the RAM for the same money: http://www.ebay.com/itm/128gb-DDR4-8-Crucial-16gb-DDR4-2400mhz/252958548288 http://www.ebay.com/itm/128gb-DDR4-8-Crucial-16gb-DDR4-2400m... (keep in mind that speed of RAM is irrelevant for DL tasks).
