<b>these are just ideas, don't feel shy about putting something with a wacky price tag down</b>
* $716 8x14TB 640 8x12TB SAS Renewed HDDs (rsk)
** we can use these to turn [[Infrastructure:Cyberdelia|cyberdelia]] into a massive NAS (~84TB with RAIDZ2 and a minimal root filesystem), which can then be used to serve public package mirrors (e.g. all ~5TB of Debian mirrors) and provide general storage for members
** <s>https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D5SP2487</s>prices raised** https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZHNRHMM** you can get listings around this price point from https://diskprices.com/
* <s>$165.75 300 stickers (rsk)</s>[[User:Rsk]] bought some stickermule stickers on sale
** assuming we can't print these at The Source, stickers are good to both give out at gobblerfest (advertising!) and haphazardly place on personal computing equipment. 300 should be enough to last us a while -- we should use HokieTux with the main website URL underneath.
** https://deathbystickers.com/products/white-vinyl-stickers-builder?variant=41114416611371
* <s>$150 three AMD poweredges, 2x(r815 48c 128G), 1x(r715 12c 64GB) (rsk)</s>gone
** this seems like a wildly good deal. no caddies, but that can be dealt with, the bigger issue could be that they aren't tested past the BIOS. all the cores would be great if we wanted to start giving away VMs on a larger scale.
** kubernetes cluster, possibly?
** https://blacksburg.craigslist.org/sys/d/christiansburg-lot-of-dell-poweredge/7795184704.html
* $275 Intel® Core™ i9-10850K (daddykeystroke)
** 10th gen is the min required to run intel a770. Never had an i9 before.
** https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i9-10850K-Desktop-Processor-Unlocked/dp/B08DHRG2X9/133-1309834-0230441?pd_rd_w=PjByE&content-id=amzn1.sym.189ba0e8-243a-408f-947d-77c5ac846d2e&pf_rd_p=189ba0e8-243a-408f-947d-77c5ac846d2e&pf_rd_r=58Y2GVQZPJRME7DVFMGB&pd_rd_wg=cLdUJ&pd_rd_r=26b6fc3c-5074-4f3f-b75d-dad029f0d4c5&pd_rd_i=B08DHRG2X9&psc=1
* $179 ASUS Prime Z490-P LGA 1200 (Intel® 10th Gen) ATX Motherboard (daddykeystroke)
* $199 EVGA Supernova 1200 P3, 80 Plus Platinum 1200W
** should easily be able to run both the p100 (250w) and the a770 (225w) and I'll likely upgrade my 3060 and 3090 and loan those to the cause also. (need better motherboard for this)

<b> API SERVICES </b>* ~$400 dell t7910 (rsk) ** stick [[User:Daddykeystroke]]'s p100 in, boom AI server** plenty of room for modern ram (ddr4) and cpu upgrades in the futureIf we set up ** might need a rig we can power cable adapter to get google one and openai accounts so the p100 working** needs a hard drive**https://www.ebay.com/itm/184760963431 * $80 drive caddies for the mystery proliant (rsk)** we can set up our own agents to do activites have this mystery server but no caddies nor 2.5in drives** https://www.amazon.com/Caddy-DL380-BL460c-378343-002-500223-001/dp/B08SJ6Z9MS * $152 8x500GB 2.5" for the benefit of societyproliant (rsk)** $19 each, used. This might be against everything we stand for'll put it in raid1, probably, total size will end up being 2TB if we buy all eight. * $20* <s>https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007YJIGPQ</s>these are SATA == Budget Requests == bundling items together into groups with decent purchasing justification * server upkeep/month rate limit Openai api parts** The comparable local model would be at minimum llama 3eight proliant caddies and two 2.5" drives is sub $100.2 11B i (about as good as chatgpt 4o on everything but logically stepping through problemsrsk) (logic can be improved with prompting techniques consisting of long prompts since context length doesn't matter anymore)just buy these. We need at least a 24gb of VRAM  * miku** i (wersk)'ll just buy this too, it'd be using s kinda funny and about 22gb the same price as a half-rack of it a long prompt will push it overribs and pulled pork at Perry Place. * AI rig** === sent requests === * backup & storage solution (HDDs)** https://openaivtluug.org/users/~rsk/files/uploads/A-BackupStorage-solution-for-VTLUUG-services-and-members_12-Nov-2024_Budget.pdf * AI rig** https://vtluug.comorg/users/~rsk/apifiles/pricinguploads/A-computer-with-an-adequate-power-supply-for-AIcompute-task_23-Nov-2024_Budget.pdf === approved requests (!!) === * HDDs** purchased 11/23/24. 12TBs, because the prices for the other ones shot up, so it ended up being ~$720, ~$160 short of the budget allocation * AI rig. [[User:Rsk|i'll]] buy it after finals~
* $20/month Google One with Gemini subscription
** We get 2TB of storage and access to the web app for Gemini Pro. Currently the api is free at 10req/min (not enough for things you'd use an api for)
