Just $129K? My bank certainly will give me a loan for the other 128K I'm missing 😀

hilbert, thanks for spotting the price - ' You can pick a unit up for just US$129K 🙂 ' I only done 4 days work this week, but next week i will get one and let the the lads know how good it is, a review! What games do you want tested? And will it run Photoshop and dreamweaver? Hope it has a fully fledged instruction book, cos i think this computer maybe over my head, just a bit worried if win 10 will load properly

hehe honestly, it's an easy business plan. If you can get the bank to give you the money, it will be earned in the right amount of time. Can't imagine a single super computer not running all the time, and with higher efficiency you can increase your profit margin during operation hours, I think.

It's also possible to get the DGX box that has 4 Tesla V100 cards for about $69,000, and the individual PCI-E cards will be much less for home grown systems.

Sporting the new NVIDIA Tesla V100 with Tensor Core technology for $69,000 you can own a dedicated system for about the same price as 1-year of cloud instance pricing. For example, an AWS p3.8xlarge instance with all up-front pricing is $68301 for 1-year.

The fun thing about this is that we can soon finally build a world dominating Supercomputer AI that's located in a couple of stacks of shipping containers in some decrepit old corner of a huge harbor near a hydropower station and/or solar farm LOL...and only for a Billion bitcoin...dystopian future here we come!
