My son (20 years old) who is more tech savy then me is thinking of learning AI models and machine learning. I would like to help foster this and support him. I have lots of spare hardware and am about to upgrade my main server so I have that motherboard, CPU and RAM. I also have several 1TB M.2s available, and about 30TB of HDDs collecting dust. Also, my internet is 1Gb symmetrical fiber.
Here is the specs I’m thinking of building: All this hardware is already owned
24 core Threadripper 2970WX
X299 Asrock Taichi motherboard (2) X16, (2) X8, and (3) M.2 slots.
64GB 3200 MHZ DDR4
1TB M.2 for OS
(4) 1TB M.2 in carrier card in RAID 0 for data sets
Last night I bought a MSI gaming 3090 should be here next week.
I don’t know exactly what his plan is yet but I want to build a general purpose setup that he can remote into from his place and do whatever he wants. Does this seem like a reasonable build, anything I should change? what would be the best operating system to install? Any advice?
Thanks
