Poweredge 2900 working with graphics card

Hello all, I just wanted to state that I got my server to work with a certain card, it's only 50$ so its an affordable option. 

It's an HP ATI Radeon HD6570 DDR3 1GB  pci-e card. It is a 16x card, but I modified the actual servers 8x port to fit it. 

the driver works fine with the server as well. 

Hope this helps out anyone looking for a card that will work easily and cheaply. I only see the 2gb option available on ebay, but hey that should be even better. 

And just so that I have a question in here, Is it worth getting a secondary psu for this? I bought it at a thrift shop for 80$

specs are 2x 3.0ghz xeon, 20gb ram, 4 drives totaling 700gb. 

It had no video when i got it. Turned out to be that one of the processor sockets was missing the metal clamp, so the processor was moving around and even bent two pins. I replaced the clamp with one from a dead board I had and bent the pins back and presto, working.
