The poster mentioned running local AI on a 3090; his son revealed he used to mine Ethereum and had a shed full of 3090s, offering a couple. After new fans, cleanup, risers, a PSU and more RAM, the local AI rig got a major capacity boost.
A nice snapshot of mining-era GPUs flowing into the local inference community.
