Hacker house hardware: our vibe-coded AI video startup runs on a used gaming PC, a borrowed cable and a TV

Description and use

<p><em>The photo at the top is night one: a TV on the living-room floor showing the Ubuntu installer, and the little PC with the blue glow that now renders every film on kitcut.ai.</em></p> <p><strong>TL;DR:</strong> our AI video studio went from an overheating laptop, to a slow $250/month Azure VM, to a second-hand gaming PC on my living-room floor. Same 8-minute film: <strong>17 min 42 s in the cloud, 3 min 49 s at home.</strong> The install was a one-shot gamble with no USB stick, no monitor and a borrowed network cable.</p> <h2> What we render </h2> <p><a href="https://kitcut.ai" rel="noop
