*nvidia tesla grid class GFX cards*
Haha, that's quite something to casually throw in there amongst cheap
random parts! You can buy a stack of those prehistoric Xeons for a few
quid on Ebay and DDR3 ECC RAM is easy to get hold of - you're going to
have to bring something pretty major to the table for someone to do
swapsies on a Grid though.
You're also going to be wasting your time putting a monster like that on
such a crappy platform I'm afraid, the S5500 simply won't be capable of
driving it properly. AFAIK all Grid cards are PCIe v3 x16 just for a
start, and even a second hand one would be worth much, much more than
the rest of that ancient server!
Cheers
