Suggestions...UPDATE

Ok I think I got this sucker ready. Here are the mods:

Removed drive cage from the bottom and to the top. Required very little modification to the cage, and 2 extra holes I had to drill. Sits right above the power supply:

Add 2 fan controls. I had to modify the 3 pin connector since these are 4 pins. In other words, I had to cut the end off the plastic on one side so I can slide in the 4 pin connector onto the Fan Mate 3 pin connector:

Jumper on the 4x PCI-e slot so the 1x card would work.

On this new 1x PCI-e card that I bought off of ebay (Nvidia Geforece 8400), I had no idea that the connector is different. Its a DMS-59. Never seen one before. So I got an adapter from NewEgg with standard VGA and DVI as the output.

Just now waiting on extra ram that I bought on ebay.

Nice work. Coming along nicely. Labor of love. Wish all computers had that much space in the motherboard area.

That vid card is the type that comes with Dell workstations, and yeah they come with a special cable that breaks it out to either 2 VGA jacks or 2 DVI jacks.
