Hardware for local inference? (lemmy.ca)

I want to host some LLM's locally and use more advanced models. Since new hardware is out of the question, I think I should be able to pull something off buying some yesteryear equipment on ebay etc. Did anybody attempt such a project? Does it scale horizontally? (I.e. can I connext two boxes to overcome single box slowness?)

I use Instinct MI60 GPUs. They are pretty decent performance for local LLM. Connecting multiple computers is going to be impractical because severe bandwidth bottleneck.
