You mean 31S1P (that's S, not 5).
Note that you'll also need a capable motherboard (most won't run a
Xeon Phi) and chassis supporting passively-cooled PCIe cards (there are
inexpensive hacks around that, though).
This is possibly the most affordable motherboard known to run Xeon Phi:

That's irrelevant.

For descrypt, up to 80M c/s in current benchmarks (with unreleased code).
The level of effort depends on how much to support - which formats,
which ways to access the Xeon Phi boards from host (OpenCL, OpenMP
offload, OpenMP native). OpenCL already sort of works, but is quite
pointless to use currently, as magnum said.
