It's likely the GPU boards are designed for water cooled data center racks and might not fit in a regular PC case. It's also possible the PCB the GPU's are mounted to might not be standard PCIe cards that fit into an ATX case.
I bought a used NEC SX Aurora TSUBASA (PCIe x16 board that looks like a GPU board) and realized it has no fans. The server case it is designed to fit into is pressurized by fans forcing air through eight cards on a special 4 + 4 slot motherboard. I have to stack and mount three 40mm fans on the back.

- MisterTea 8mo agoHonestly, I bought it more for collection than actually using. If I ever do anything with it, it will be from Plan 9. However, searching around there is plenty of documentation on the architecture in addition to a github repo: https://github.com/veos-sxarr-NEC https://github.com/veos-sxarr-NEC
