A Patron of mine sent over a link to purchase a Tesla K10 card for only $40. And that's when the trouble all started...

But first... What am I drinking???

Lompac Brewing's (Portland, OR) Red on Rye barrel aged Red Ale. Wow, this is a phenomenal brew. Malty, oaky, with a bit of a toffee flavor... velvety smooth... I can't say enough good things about this one. Go find one and enjoy. 6.0% ABV

The whole idea behind this project is to create a self-hosted cloud gaming system. This is typically achieved with nVidia's GRID series of cards. But licensure on newer GRID cards, and the hypervisors that support their use, are prohibitively expensive. Luckily the GRID K2 has no such license requirements. But that doesn't mean this server is actually going to work when I'm done.

The Tesla K10 is an identical card to the GRID K2, but with 3D rendering disabled by the firmware. The goal will be to hard mod the Tesla cards into GRID cards, and that will happen in the next video.
