A user is seeking advice on upgrading their local LLM setup, which currently consists of multiple consumer PCs with various NVIDIA GPUs including RTX 3090s and 3060s. They are considering consolidating into a dedicated 4-6 GPU server, potentially a used Supermicro workstation, to better handle larger models and concurrent agent workflows. The user is weighing the cost-effectiveness and future-proofing of different upgrade paths, expressing concern about rapid obsolescence in the fast-evolving AI hardware landscape. AI
