Building a Home Deep Learning Rig with Dual RTX 4090 GPUs
Rent a GPU or Buy Your Own? Before setting up a deep learning environment, consider usage duration, budget, data privacy, and maintenance overhead. If you have long-term needs (e.g., over a year) and require strict data security, building your own GPU server often provides lower overall costs and a more controllable environment. On the other hand, for short-term projects or when data privacy is not critical, renting cloud GPUs (e.g., Azure, AWS, GCP) or using free platforms (Colab, Kaggle) offers greater flexibility. ...
