I can't find anything posted in 2018 about a GPU in this thing. I want to put a C2Extreme in here, so I don't really know if i should put a C2Extreme in here with a GPU since it has a 200 watt psu, i think.

That's not too bad a project sort of.
At Overclock.net in LGA775 Club there are acouple guys who post there and have modded that computer.

The CPUs on that are limted to 266fsb, and 65nm, up to 130W. The only one worth overclocking is the QX6800 SLACP. base 2.93GHz.
Throttlestop 6.0 software will OC it in Windows to 3.45GHz. The SFF heatpipe cooler is JP911.
RAM is 8GB DDR2 800 low density.
GPU is where it gets strange. 25W power limit for the PCIe 16...

GPU is where it gets strange. 25W power limit for the PCIe 16 slot. The guys at OCN say they just ignore it. The risk is up to you. Low profile 1/2 length. or single sot.
You will probably need to trim the case for anything over a GTX750 or 1030 due to an HDMI port in the 2nd slot position.
