I can't even look at the press picture without remembering that is the exact same metal card slot tab that I had on my IBM PC 35 years ago. They should take a picture of the other end or something.
What's a good GPU / setup for someone doing deep learning at home? Does anyone have recommendations?

I disagree; most people use caffe / keras / theano / tensorflow / etc hiding the cuDNN details so end users won't care much. Offering more performance / shorter training loops is a big deal. Your typical ML learning loop with an expensive human regularly waiting for experiment results shows clear benefits.
The point is that there is no optimized cuDNN equivalent for AMD hardware at this point.

Other concerns: you want a full size cage, with the SSD drives all the way at the top, out of the way of the video cards (the largest Nvidia OEM 3 fan cards are almost 13" long, so there's going to be some Tetris if you want a lot of drives and video cards in there). Cooling critical, stuff the box with RAM and Xeon's or i7s.
This is a good tip: older Xeon servers, dual socket, can support good PCI bandwidth with 2 CPUs: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12606481
Ahh, what exciting times we live in. Just look at the example applications: - autonomous vehicles - autopilot drone - personal assistant - personal robots - ... i know it's optimistic, but it's not science-fiction.
- child slavery to build new iPhones in Africa and China
- killing and burning wildlife to build new farms in Latin America
- still not having any solution for problem of drinkable water in 2/3 of World
What a time to be alive!

Yes, the world is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. Lots of things to be improved. If you could choose another time to live in, when would it be?
