I bought a datacenter GPU that doesn't fit in a normal motherboard, macgyvered the fan with jumper wires, and now I'm running a model that ties with Claude Sonnet 4.6 on benchmarks, all for £200.
I know that and I use that. But recently market for switches and servers dried up. I thought they were shredding DC GPUs too. Most of them die after 3-5 years anyway.
Lots of used DC gear makes it to eBay. This is how homelabbers survive.
