A Reddit user bought a used nine-GPU Nvidia P106-100 crypto mining rig, left sitting in a garage, for just $35. The setup packs 54GB of total VRAM, working out to roughly 65 cents per gigabyte, and was used to run the Qwen3.6-35B-A3B language model locally. The deal is drawing attention as an example of how discarded mining hardware can be repurposed cheaply for local AI workloads.
