Well my attempt to migrate the Tesla P100 GPU into a tower seems to have been misguided. The GPU has no active cooling, meaning it depends on the airflow of the rig it's in, and therefore designed to be in a 2U server with plenty of noisy cooling fans. The OS was reporting a resource conflict (error 12) and I couldn't figure out how to clear it. Probably it isn't possible for that hardware. The hope was to cut 100 watts of server overhead and reduce noise to a level where it could live in my office instead of the boiler room in the basement.
New plan is to relocate the server to my parents who have more excess electricity production than me. I've made about $1000 mining since February and had to pay $60 in electricity since I couldn't quite produce everything I needed.
I'll build up that spare tower to be my surveillance PVR (BlueIris), media server (Plex), and 3 display gaming rig, though I'll hardly ever get a chance to game.
