Servers for work
A server is a powerful computer that runs 24/7, connected to the internet,
performing paid computational tasks. Below are five ready options:
from the first working server to a large computing machine.
And you can build such a machine yourself. You don’t need to memorize processor names,
understand dozens of types of memory, or know every detail about motherboards.
It’s enough to choose the right level, buy compatible parts, and calmly follow the assembly step-by-step.
That’s exactly why we prepared five server builds.
They differ not because one server is good and another is bad.
They are designed for different budgets, tasks, and levels of entry.
Five servers — five budget and income levels
From the first working server to a large computing setup.
Compare approximate cost, estimated income, and choose the suitable entry level.
The first serious server
If you have never built a server before, this is the most straightforward entry point.
The machine is relatively compact, doesn’t require a huge budget upfront, and lets you start with a basic configuration.
First, you assemble the server itself, install the processor, RAM, and drives.
Later, if the task requires, you can add a powerful graphics card.
Complete step-by-step guide for this build — $399, lifetime access. Components purchased separately.
A serious server without unnecessary luxury
This is already a full-fledged professional machine. It has a large amount of RAM,
plenty of room for additional devices, and the ability to significantly increase computing power.
It uses equipment that has long been applied in professional gear
and therefore is often more cost-effective than the latest solutions.
but doesn’t want to overpay just for the newest hardware.

A modern server with plenty of room for the future
This build is for someone who understands that their computing infrastructure will grow.
It has a lot of fast RAM, fast drives, and a good reserve for connecting powerful GPUs.
This machine isn’t designed for just one specific task. Today it can compute for one network,
and a year from now — work with a completely different direction.
when your tasks become more demanding.

When the main work is done by GPUs
Some tasks rely primarily on powerful GPUs instead of the processor:
image processing, video creation, AI work, and large parallel computations.
For such tasks, you need a server that can properly house several powerful GPUs,
provide them with power and cooling, and make them work reliably together.
this build is made exactly for that scenario.

A large computing machine
This is the most demanding option among our basic builds: two processors, a large amount of RAM,
several powerful GPUs, a serious power supply, a large case, and robust cooling.
This machine is intended for continuous 24/7 operation.
It makes sense to build it when you want to get a lot of computing power in one server
and are ready to invest seriously in equipment.
your own computing infrastructure can grow into over time.

What exactly do you get for $399?
We do not sell ready-made servers. We sell a complete step-by-step guide for a specific build with lifetime access.
Once paid, the selected build appears in the MY PAID PRODUCTS section.
Inside are eleven consecutive stages: base and case, processor and RAM,
GPUs, power supply, drives, backup power, internet and security,
first launch, software installation, connecting to computing networks, and final full machine check.
You don’t need to understand the entire server at once. You go step by step, check the results, and then move on.
That’s how a complicated machine stops being complicated.
Smart Installer and Anka Monitor — the evolution of Golden Basket
We are developing Smart Installer — an assistant that before installation checks hardware, Ubuntu, drivers, and the current confirmed requirements of the chosen computing network. If the configuration is incompatible, it stops installation and explains the next steps. Access to personal accounts and wallets remains with the server owner.
Anka Monitor is being developed as a free Golden Basket feature: server status monitoring, CPU and GPU loads, temperatures, and warnings. The initial version works locally; sending technical metrics to DePIN World will be possible only with the server owner’s separate permission, which can be revoked. Passwords and wallet keys are not collected.
Status: both tools are still under development and testing, and cannot yet be installed on buyers’ servers. Future network selection recommendations will consider compatibility, order availability, and costs without guaranteeing earnings.
Where to start?
If a server is just a big computer to you for now — start with Build 5.
If you want a more serious machine for reasonable money right away — check Build 4.
If you need plenty of room for growth — Build 2.
If the main goal is multiple powerful GPUs and heavy computations — Build 3.
If you want to build a large computing setup — Build 1.
It’s not necessary to begin with the most expensive. The key is to assemble your first server, start it, and understand how it works.
Then you can build a second. Then a third.
Your own computing infrastructure starts with the first machine.
Then you can move on to the technical calculator, compare specifications, and choose a build based on numbers.
