Anyone out there with a Lenovo ThinkStation P360 can let me know if it has ReBar support and if you can send me pictures of the Advanced -> CPU features uefi page?

Yeah, docs say it has rebar support and point you to Nvidia stuff. My P340 also has rebar support, but it’s only if it detects an nvidia card. Almost like it’s a whitelist.

I know about the uefi and bios chip hacks, but nothing stating it’s worked on a P340 or if it’s needed on a P360. I’ll probably try them anyway if I can’t find a solid answer.

Please boost for visibility. I’d really like to avoid having to build a machine.

#Odyssee & #Erfahrungsbericht:

Aufrüsten von 512 SSD auf 1TB SSD bei einer #Thinkstation #ThinkstationP340Tower und was es da alles für #Stolpersteine geben kann. Zumindest für jemanden, der als Halb-Laie versucht #Opensource Tools einzusetzen und lange keine Hardware mehr an Computern ausgetauscht hat.

Spoiler: es ist nichts kaputtgegangen und ich musste kein Backup einspielen. Trotzdem war es hakelig.

Hey everyone 👋

I’m diving deeper into running AI models locally—because, let’s be real, the cloud is just someone else’s computer, and I’d rather have full control over my setup. Renting server space is cheap and easy, but it doesn’t give me the hands-on freedom I’m craving.

So, I’m thinking about building my own AI server/workstation! I’ve been eyeing some used ThinkStations (like the P620) or even a server rack, depending on cost and value. But I’d love your advice!

My Goal:
Run larger LLMs locally on a budget-friendly but powerful setup. Since I don’t need gaming features (ray tracing, DLSS, etc.), I’m leaning toward used server GPUs that offer great performance for AI workloads.

Questions for the Community:
1. Does anyone have experience with these GPUs? Which one would you recommend for running larger LLMs locally?
2. Are there other budget-friendly server GPUs I might have missed that are great for AI workloads?
3. Any tips for building a cost-effective AI workstation? (Cooling, power supply, compatibility, etc.)
4. What’s your go-to setup for local AI inference? I’d love to hear about your experiences!

I’m all about balancing cost and performance, so any insights or recommendations are hugely appreciated.

Thanks in advance! 🙌
