Worst I've done is try to rig a AMD 7990 onto a Dell PowerEdge 2950 server. See when I got my two 7990's they were like 1300$ USD a pop, and I eventually got my use out of them and got a 980Ti, but I still used them in my media server and rendering comp. So one day I start hosting a few game servers and decide that if I could use the power of the 7990 I could kick ass. So I open up the server and see that if I pull out this little conversion thingy there's a pcie x16 slot, so I throw a riser on it since my card won't fit, and plug my card in. But what I then realized that is since it's a pre-built cheap server, there's no available power cables to plug into the card, so I take a PSU I have laying around (of sufficient wattage) and rig it to turn on without a motherboard (paperclip method), and it works, so I plug it into the card, turn on the server, and it runs for about 1 min ISH, and during that time I'm trying to connect into vnc, with no luck, and I turn around and slide my chair over to it and it smells like nothing but burning plastic, I shut the server off and neither card nor server have worked since, ~1500 down the drain in 1 min.
