Yup, but i was assuming that he wanted to experiment building gpu rigs. For sure standard GPU servers are cheaper and easy to maintain. I have two lenovos, bought them used, already EOL.. was cheap and better than any custom gpu rig.. but i was pragmatic, because my goal was to put it in production, and not to research...

You could fit 10 million dollars of GPU rigs in the smallest of cages. A cage is an entire room. You don't need that to run a few servers.

Not everywhere. Running a data center myself, we have cages for 1 rack, 3 racks and so on..
