alt Hacker NewsThe idea that you need a new machine is pretty ridiculous. I bought a used HP Omen with a 3090 last month for $2k. 57t/s with Qwen 3.8.

I'm so happy for the two used 3090s I bought for $500 each after Ethereum mining ended. I even saw them for like $430 at some point lol.

I've not heard of others running HP with it. Hows much RAM do you have?

Agreed, I was also annoyed that the only params on the site were mac products. I run qwen 3.8 on a 12 year old asus and a 3090, 50tok/s. It's not even the only guest running on the box. For my usage profile (not running it 24/7) it's actually less expensive per-month than claude subscriptions.
