Lawyer builds 8-GPU V100 server for in-house AI case review

A lawyer posted on Reddit detailing a homebuilt AI server using eight used 2018-era Nvidia Tesla V100 SXM2 32GB GPUs, paired via two NVLinked four-card baseboards and four PEX switches on a Threadripper Pro system with 2,800W of power. The machine runs the DeepSeek V4.1 Flash model entirely in GPU memory at up to 215 tokens per second, letting the lawyer process case files locally without sending data to outside servers.

Open-source reference kit published for NVIDIA V100 SXM2 pinout and NVLink wiring

A new open-source project offers a curated reference for NVIDIA V100 SXM2 module carrier boards, documenting 800 canonical contacts across two connectors along with NVLink connection tables for two- and four-GPU configurations. The release includes KiCad starter files, schematic PDFs and a standalone workbook, built by compiling and reconciling previously scattered reverse-engineered data rather than original hardware research.
