Hi everyone,

I’ve recently acquired a very powerful workstation. Specs are Threadripper PRO 5995WX, 128GB ECC DDR4, 4 TB Gen4 storage, and RTX 4090 (can do 2x 3090 with NVLink as well).

How can I put this rig to good use to generate some passive income? I have a 900/900 fiber connection and someone suggested running some game serves on it but not sure if it’s a good idea.

Any suggestion is highly appreciated!

Thank you.

    Before you go into this to make a little bit of money, you should check how much this workstation would cost you in electricity. You could rent out your GPU for computational power, but if you make less than it costs to run it, then obviously that’s not wanted

    If you want to get money out of it, sell it. Doubt you’re gonna get more from it these days.

    Also, wrong sub. We do the opposite here of what you’re trying to achieve.

    The best thing I can suggest is selling it to me. With the cost of electricity, I am doing you a favor and you can just count the monthly savings. $50 sounds fair considering how much I’m going to spend running it.

    There’s some sites that you can offer your power to, to run simulations. Maybe something like that but under a paywall?
