    Cheap PCIe Graphics

    Looking to spend max of £10inc. It is for a server so performance is not needed. Low power consumption is desirable.

    But with postage that would bust my budget big time... if anyone has one of those they don't need I'll would buy it from you
    Otherwise, I guess I will have to wait until I need something else from scan

    Does anyone know which card has the lowest power consumption? The card will only be used to run command line linux server when putty doesn't work...

    You could have my PCI-E x1 modded HD 2350 for a fiver including a zalman passive cooler as seen in this pic.

    Lol, nice mod... will it work perfectly in a 16x slot? Is there any chance it will damage anything else of overheat?

    Re: Cheap PCIe Graphics

    This card works on any PCI-E slot, I had it running on x16, x8 and x1 slots just to check.

    It won't overheat or damage anything else, I had it running on my Gigabyte P31-DS3L for weeks with hardly any airflow and the heatsink only ever gets warm.

    I can't seem to get it working... no picture comes up. I have tried with 2 monitors, maybe my mobo doesn't like the mod...
