Creating my First Deep Learning + Data Science Workstation

Because why not?

Creating my workstation has been a dream for me, if nothing else.

I knew the process involved, yet I somehow never got to it. It might have been time or money. Mostly Money.

But this time I just had to do it. I was just fed up with setting up a server on AWS for any small personal project and fiddling with all the installations.

The whole process involved a lot of reading up and watching a lot of Youtube videos from Linus Tech Tips . And as it was the first time I was assembling a computer from scratch, it was sort of special too.

Building the DL rig as per your requirements takes up a lot of research. I researched on individual parts, their performance, reviews, and even the aesthetics.

Now, most of the workstation builds I researched were focussed on gaming, so I thought of pu…
