I'm creating a thread for my 4.1-->5.1 mod to keep everything in one place.
I will document my upgrade to X5690, PCIe SSD (Apple SSUBX) and PSU mod to allow for two modern gfx cards using only the internal PSU.
I have gotten my Mac Pro now (2x 2.26GHz) 4.1 from 2009. It had one Nvidia 120GT and one Nvidia 8800GT, 12GB ram and a few external scratches =) Price was $680 in March 2015.
I have ordered de-lidded X5690 CPUs that are being delivered. ($599 for package with dual de-lidded CPUs...
