Hi everyone,

I've recently acquired a very powerful workstation. Specs are Threadripper PRO 5995WX, 128GB ECC DDR4, 4 TB Gen4 storage, and RTX 4090 (can do 2x 3090 with NVLink as well).

How can I put this rig to good use to generate some passive income? I have a 900/900 fiber connection and someone suggested running some game serves on it but not sure if it's a good idea.

Any suggestion is highly appreciated!

Thank you.

Before you go into this to make a little bit of money, you should check how much this workstation would cost you in electricity. You could rent out your GPU for computational power, but if you make less than it costs to run it, then obviously that's not wanted
