Fun.
It's not like I'm actually going to build this.

And depending on how many HDDs you can stick onto your extension cards, that's probably a better idea than the GPU anyway, since some of these SSDs can probably break 1k each.
There are boards for those professional 3D / movie studios which support heavy graphics processing.  Besides, you only need PCIe x16 slots.
SSDs are probably better if you can't get them into any PCIe x16 slots (I think you can though, but unsure).  You'll need at least one if the board doesn't have integrated graphics.
