And, I finished the upgrades today.

Mac Pro (2009) with the 4,1 -> 5,1 firmware hack
CPU: 3.2Ghz quad-core Xeon (upgraded from 2.66Ghz quad-core.. I still have
   Arctic Silver thermal paste on my fingertips..)
RAM: 32G of nice Dell ECC server RAM in place of the original 16G
Primary Boot: Samsung 830 128G SSD, on an OWC PCIe controller card.
Other drives: Two Intel 710 100G SSDs in primary drive bays, 
              One Sun-branded 1TB 7200rpm HD in primary drive bay
Video card: Radeon HD5770 (I also ended up with a NV800GT, but the
            Radeon arrived today, a week earlier than expected, so 
            the NV was only in for about two hours).
OS: High Sierra OSX 10.13.4

Thanks, y'all, for all the help and parts and such.

Bill
