Hey guys, not looking to be spoon fed anything.. just hoping to reach out to this community of entrepreneurs and see if any of you had an idea of how to put my new computer to work.

I use it to code full time but I was hoping to find an easy side gig that basically just leverages the power of my computer.

It has the new 10th gen i9 processor, 128gb RAM and 16gb VRAM.

Any ideas are appreciated, thanks.

Rent it out small-time or get involved with crypto mining (if your GPU can handle it).

Keep in mind that Amazon and Google are competing a lot when it comes to renting computing power and you shouldn't be expecting miracles.

Truth be told, using it to more efficiently do your job is probably the best way you can make money from it. The next best option is probably crypto mining but I guess you'd have to mine alt coins in the hope that one of them takes off because mining something like bitcoin is never going to get you anywhere these days.

There's not a lot you're legitimately going to be able to do with it. Renting it out probably isn't going to be worth the effort for a single box and even if mining covers your electricity bill it won't be much.

Selling the machine is the only way you're going to see any real money from it.
