I built a system around a 3U chassis, then tried to stuff a GPU in the box and couldn't close the lid. I got a 4U chassis and rebuilt the system, but I still have the 3U and I'm thinking about filling it back out so I have a failover for Proxmox. Is there a GPU I should consider or just stick with the integrated graphics? I'm currently only using the GPU for Steam remote play using pass-though to a Windows VM, but Jellyfin, Frigate, Immich are on my to-do list.

If it’s a backup server why not build a system around an CPU with an integrated GPU? Some of the APUs from AMD aren’t half bad.

Particularly if it’s just your backup… and you can live without games/video/acceleration while you repair your primary?

That's probably the plan, though I see an Intel a380 low-profile for all of $100 that might be useful for some encode/decode tasks
