User seeks dual-slot external GPU enclosure for server expansion

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user on the r/LocalLLaMA subreddit is seeking an external GPU enclosure capable of housing two dual-slot graphics cards, specifically for use with NVLink. The user's current server chassis lacks the space and power for an additional A40 card, prompting the search for a specialized enclosure. They are looking for a solution with forced airflow, dual PCI slots, and a single external PSU connection, ideally with Oculink connections to the server's existing x16 slot. AI
