The connection does not look standard so probably need to find some kind of OEM interposer card, which would allow you to connect some slimSAS cables that in turn connect to pcie adapter cards.

You'd need at least threadripper cpu/motherboard to handle that many pcie slots/lanes.

Not to mention that a baseboard like that is not going to work with a standard ATX power supply, so you'd have to provide your own power solution.

If that doesn't sound fun to you, you're probably better off buying Claude tokens.
