Creating a custom homelab machine for LLM usage on a budget

A homelab builder running Mistral 7B and DeepSeek-R1 8B locally, and Mistral Large in the cloud, is comparing GPU options for a budget local LLM machine, primarily for software debugging. The listed prices are the Arc Pro B60 at about €900, the AMD Radeon R9700 32GB at about €1,800, the NVIDIA Tesla V100 at about €740, the W7800 32GB at about €2,200, and the RTX 3090 at about €1,400. The builder said the use case is still being determined.
