Video Description

Support the channel and grab yourself a Pint Glass at https://craftcomputing.store I've been looking for an excuse to build a server inside the Sliger CX3170a for almost a year, and I finally found a reason. Today, I'm going to cram an AsRock Rack EPYCD8 Motherboard, 256GB of DDR4-ECC memory, and a trio of RTX A5000s into this tiny 3U Chassis to create the ultimate DIY AI Server. At least... that's the story I'm telling you right now. *Links to items below may be affiliate links for which I may be compensated* Check out the Sliger CX3170a on their website: https://www.sliger.com/products/rackmount/3u/cx3170a/ AsRock Rack EPYCD8 Motherboard: https://ebay.us/Fz3lc2 AMD Epyc 7F52 16-Core 3.9GHz: https://ebay.us/eatKvk 8x32GB DDR4 REG-ECC 2133MHz: https://ebay.us/6Yfe6B Samsung 970 Evo PLUS 1TB NVMe: https://amzn.to/3PFCSpN NVIDIA RTX A5000 24GB: https://ebay.us/aHBvlU NVIDIA Tesla P4 8GB: https://ebay.us/o9TmMm Silverstone SX700-LP 700 SFX-L (Available up to 1200W): https://amzn.to/42eEZZh Follow me on Bluesky @Craftcomputing.bsky.social Support me on Patreon and get access to my exclusive Discord server.
