Product Reviews

An OVH GPU server is the answer when EU data residency is a requirement and predictable pricing matters more than elasticity. Current rates and the honest limits.

RunPod is the right answer for intermittent GPU work and the wrong one for constant GPU work. Pricing, cold starts, storage costs and the duty cycle that decides it.

The DGX Spark is a memory product wearing performance marketing. 128GB unified memory is the entire reason to buy one, and the price rose 17 percent after launch.

Above $5,000 the question stops being what you can afford and becomes what you actually need. Two paths to running 70B models locally, the engineering that makes them work, and a blunt account of who should not build one.

Most AI build guides start with the graphics card and run out of budget before the power supply. This one starts from what actually runs models reliably for hours - full parts list, what to skip, and the honest ceiling.

Building is cheaper, and that is not always the point. What a prebuilt AI workstation premium actually buys, the three tiers worth considering, and the middle path most comparisons miss.

A machine that runs AI for you is more useful than one you use for AI - and almost nobody builds it. Full parts list specified for efficiency and remote management, plus the stack that makes it worth having.

The RTX 5080 is not the exciting card, and for local AI it is the one most buyers should get. What 16GB actually runs, where the ceiling is, and when to buy cheaper or dearer instead.
