Compute is componentized: 11 parody GPU cards (Ex-Mining P106, GFX 1060
Dumpster, Radish VII Furnace, RTX 4090 Gigachonk, H100 'The Vault',
B200 BigChungus...) install into carrier slots — Budget PC takes one,
the milk-crate rig four, the half rack eight with rack-only datacenter
cards. Cards carry tok/watts/VRAM/heat individually; total cluster VRAM
must hold the running model version or all token output starves.
Storage devices (SSD shoebox / NVMe hoard / NAS tower) gate training:
no checkpoint space, no progress. Network grows a switch layer with
per-switch throughput caps between devices and uplinks. Shop grouped
by category. Old saves migrate with equivalent card loadouts.
