Ask HN: Best way to buy second hand compute (in a future AI crash)
So, in a land before kids and mortgages I had a homelab, and want to start again.
I also think that give it a few months and the AI bud out bubble will burst and a couple of data r free worth of GPUs might come available
Buying off eBay sounds crazy so what’s the right way to find compute from sell offs, refreshed estates and so on? There are multiple companies that sell used server parts, such as ServerPartDeals.com. Additionally you may want to look into manufacturer or third-party refurbishing as this can save money while guaranteeing that the component still works.
