For Sale: Powerful AI/Deep Learning Workstation - Lenovo P700 w/ NVIDIA P100 GPU
A Cost-Effective Alternative to Cloud Computing for Learning AI, LLMs, and Machine Learning
Overview
This powerful Lenovo ThinkStation P700 is a perfect turnkey solution for anyone serious about learning Artificial Intelligence, running Large Language Models (LLMs), and machine learning without the astronomical recurring costs of cloud services. It's a robust, proven workstation that delivers professional-grade performance right at your desk.
Key Specifications & Hardware:
Processors: 2x Intel Xeon E5-2667 v3 (8 Cores / 16 Threads each) - 16 Cores / 32 Threads total
Memory: 64 GB DDR4 ECC RAM (Plenty of free slots for easy, cheap upgrades to 128GB+)
Graphics: NVIDIA Tesla P100 16GB - The industry-standard GPU for deep learning and HPC. Features NVLink and massive 16GB HBM2 memory perfect for large datasets and models.
Storage: Fast Boot SSD + High-Capacity 3TB HDD for storing models and datasets.
OS: Ready for your choice of Ubuntu Linux (recommended) or Windows.
Why This Machine Beats The Cloud (The Cost Argument):
Running a comparable VM with a P100 in the cloud (e.g., Azure, AWS) is prohibitively expensive for continuous learning and development.
Cloud Cost: ~$1,500+ per month ($2.00+/hr)
This Machine: A one-time purchase.
Own your hardware, eliminate monthly fees, and experiment freely 24/7 without watching the clock.
Perfect For:
Learning Deep Learning & Neural Networks
Running and fine-tuning Large Language Models (LLMs) from Hugging Face
TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Python development
Data Science and computational research
Also capable as a powerful virtualization host (ESXi, Proxmox)
Ready-to-Run AI Environment:
I used this system successfully for AI projects. The recommended setup path is straightforward:
Install Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
Install NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit & Drivers (full support available)
Install Python, Pip, and libraries like TensorFlow/PyTorch
Start running models from Hugging Face Transformers.
You can easily SSH into the system from your laptop and use VS Code Remote for a seamless development experience.
Condition & Environment:
This is a solid, well-built workstation. It has been meticulously maintained and operates cool and quiet, even under full load (GPU temps never exceed 60°C), making it ideal for a home office.
Price & Value:
I'm selling this complete, high-performance AI workstation for the price of a high-end consumer graphics card alone. This is an exceptional opportunity for students, developers, and enthusiasts to get into serious AI without a serious cloud bill.
Includes: Workstation, GPU, RAM, Drives, and all necessary cables.
