Before installing the OS on my DIY AI server, I faced the GPU puzzle: tight slots, PCIe 3.0 limits, and a pricey new PSU. After much research, I settled on an RTX 2080 Ti—ordered from eBay and now stuck waiting a month for delivery.
I swapped in a 1300W PSU, added drives with heatsinks, wrestled with cable management, and installed Ubuntu 25.04. By 1 a.m., the panels were closed and my budget AI server was finally alive and ready for the next stage.
I added NVMe drives, old HDDs, and even a vintage GTX 960 to my budget AI ‘supercomputer.’ After some BIOS beeps and surprises, the system finally came to life—ready for Ubuntu and the next step in my AI server journey.
I stripped my old PC down to its case and power supply, then rebuilt it with a dual-CPU X99 motherboard, 128 GB of RAM, and budget Xeons. Along the way, I made mistakes, learned lessons, and took the first real step toward my home AI server.
