It's compatible with any socket 1366 X58 motherboard that lists it as supported. For that you would need to check on their website and look up CPU support.
I've posted a link to a list of Gigabyte boards that support it and you've been linked to an EVGA that certainly should.
Use Google or another search engine , I just googled it and got plenty of info.
Type in " nvidia quadro plex 2200 d2 " .
This is a link to Nvidia for this .

I want to sell it lmao

They're worth a small fortune :O
OK. After doing some research I found that the unit you have there has two Quadro FX5800 cards in it.
I'm not exactly sure what else it does (IE whether you could use it as a computer) but in the very least you could pull out the graphics cards and SLI them.
These cards are (I'm 99% certain) basically GTX 480s of sorts based on Fermi.
And what GPUZ says.
Which does not tell you the memory size,however, they carry 4gb vram
http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_quadro_fx_5800_us.html
They also have a 512 bit memory bus which is pretty sick tbh. What is odd is that they only have 240 CUDA cores yet the 480 has 448. However I'm pretty certain that in SLI they would be good enough for gaming
Which is a bit of a shame, but, I can't see you being able to use them for anything else given the nature of what you've been given there. The only way to use them is to plop your Xeon in a X58 SLI board and run them with it, taking them out of the Nvidia shell.
Edit. Hmm, there seems to be Windows 7 drivers for the unit. That's odd... Maybe it connects to a PC somehow because it doesn't have a CPU.
Edit. After more digging I found the manual..
http://www.nvidia.co.uk/docs/IO/127917/NV_Quadro_Plex_D2_Installation_Guide_FINAL.pdf
It looks like the unit has a PCIE card that goes into your PC and then you connect it up that way. However, it only runs 8X and you have to buy it separately. Good luck finding one now..
I still say you're better off taking the cards out and putting them directly into a motherboard

i know it come with a PCI Express interface so that is can be run it outside the the case and it has it's who power supply in its separate case
will these card run Cyrsis 3 and battlefield 4 well?
How i got:
well my dad is the IT and network manager works for a drilling tool company and he some times get part from company intel and Nvidia when the contract for certain computer parts expire and they does what it product back

I have no idea how well they will run any game because it's very hard to find that sort of information on them. They weren't designed for gaming but they should work.
There's no point running them externally unless you wanted to do SLI with a ITX board. Otherwise you're much better off putting them directly in the motherboard and running them 16x 16x.
There are some benchmarks here..
http://news.mydrivers.com/1/171/171070_5.htm
Edit. They're being benched against a GTX 465 Fermi, and, from the look they are about as fast as a GTX 470.
However, due to them having 4gb memory and a massive memory bandwidth they would absolutely fly in SLI. Well worth using them IMO.
Edit. They were originally released in 2008 so they're very old now. I don't think they are Fermi either, more like some sort of GTX 280.
I'm pretty sure in SLI they would provide a decent enough gaming performance, though.
Edit. Yes, they are only DX10 so they're not Fermi. Still, should be good in SLI.

They should run most games quite well.
They will excell with AA, thats one feature they are designed for.
Your fps usually wont be insanely high, because they are more designed to crank out a constant 60 fps with a high polygon count.

I would say a good high quality 800w tbh.

Just because something is written to be optimized for modeling and rendering doesn't mean it will be completely hindered from doing what it's cousins do.
that is what i thought too!

I've forgotten where you live now. If you are in the EU go to -
eu.evga.com
Then go to shop - Bstock.
Then you will see a few boards listed. Personally I think the EVGA X58 SLI LE is more than good enough, it costs 80 euros.
Also worth buying is the EVGA X58 SLI3 90 euros and
EVGA X58 FTW3 115 euros.
Here is the CPU support article for EVGA's boards, every X58 supports every 1366 Xeon.

Absolutely. From what I recall from looking up his Quadros they were based on something roughly similar to the GTX 280. Two of them in SLI will provide plenty of muscles. The main thing his Quadros have over the 280 is that they sport massive vram.
TBH Battlefield 3 was easy to run on a GTX 295, given that the 295 was faster than a GTX 480. Where my 295 fell over however was vram. As soon as I added any sort of aliasing they fell on their face with input lag and texture streaming from my paging file.
Honestly I would hazard a wild guess here and say those Quadros will be able to run any game on very high to max settings. We're omitting DX11 here which is a huge strain on any GPU and he has vast quantities of vram to handle any textures.
I see no reason AT ALL not to use those Quadros tbh. They'll probably overclock quite well too given the mild clocks they run at stock.
