I have the exact same server. The drive caddies are hit and miss on ebay. Bought a few, didn't fit. Gave up on buying any. I see you pulled out the place holder bays out. I used a 3d printer and printed some of the drive caddies off of thingiverse. You'll want to search your exact model. But still ended up snipping some off so they would slide in.

The server has an option to put a PCIE riser nearest to your power supply there. There's a few of those on ebay as well. Looks like you have one installed on the opposite side next to the SATA cables plugged in. That would let you swap that network card you have in there for a GPU and power it if you wanted.

Seeing as you have RAM in both sides of the motherboard I would wager this is a DUAL CPU system.

Might search for the manual of your exact model/make so you can see what all features and hardware it can use. Get your ILO setup too.

Grats on the system! Mine sits around 200-300 watts with minimal load.
