There is a p104-100 on eBay for $150

It doesn't have video ports so if you have enough slots...

No more ports and definitely no power in the PSU for two cards. If it could deliver about 100W more, I might have bougt a Tahiti based card and crunch Milkyway with it, but I don't feel like I want to invest too much in this old C2D considering that it probably won't run Win11. Not to mention, what's going on here in Europe with electricity costs, that's another thing that might make crunching nearly impossible in the future.

This was just an idea in case I could get that card for free, if I should invest $150, I'd rather add another $150 or even more and replace the thing with something more future proof and energy efficient.

A Teammate used to buy cheap psu's and put them outside the pc case, as a secondary psu, just to run his gpu's all you need is a jumper wire to turn it on when the pc turns on.
