Another one to consider is the A4000 16gb. I recently bought an ex-miner card for ~$500 usd . They are around a 3070 with a decent amount of memory for training scenarios, and are single slot cards. I believe there are a lot of these workstation ex miner cards which are pretty heavily discounted.

Combine this with a second hand X99 / 2011-v3 platform like the Dell Precision T7910 dual socket Xeons and you can have a pretty decent homelab for ML workloads. The Dell can come with a 1300 watt PSU and can fit 4 of those cards comfortably (5 with reduced PCIe lanes on one) since they are 150W each.
