I currently have a lab workstation with a motherboard ASRock EP2C602-4L/D16. I want to add the following 3 functionalities to it (none of them come onboard): a) sound support b) USB 3.0 support c) Wi-fi connection The problem: I only have two available PCIe slots. If I had three, the solution...

As for budget, if you mean budget for the MB, somewhere around $2,000 would be limit. As for location, we are in Chicago.

So, at my university's research lab we got our hands on 4 cpus Intel Xeon E5-4659 v2 and on 2 top-notch gpus Nvidia GeForce 2080 Ti. Nonetheless, it has proven hard to find a proper motherboard and server/workstation chassis/case/tower to fit all that. That is my question to you all experts...
