I've been fighting with some issues on my unraid server recently and I'm at a point where I need a graphics card to see the actual video out as the machine boots. The psu in the chassis has no additional connectors that I could use for additional power to a graphics card.

Can someone point me in the direction of a super cheap graphics card that will be used for console only and not 3d graphics or gaming.

Alot of servers have at least one built in video output head but if it's an older device you might need to look for an HD15 VGA port... Some servers might have had some sort of micro port or proprietary port/dongle setup as well. Might refer to the documentation for the chassis/motherboard first... It's possible you have what you need already.

While a great idea, and I would love to do so. This is a desktop motherboard in a server chassis, with no serial/usb output. It is a Gigabyte GA-X99-UD4. I ended up picking up a Nvidia GT 710.

Oh fantastic, sorry if I missed that detail in the original post. Thought you might have had an old eBay blade server or something. Hope you got it working!

Not yet, the new card should arrive tonight. It's actually a SC847BE2C supermicro chassis but it's getting close to being ready for a new motherboard/cpu/ram
