Hi,

Looking to make a muscular but small machine that plays well with Linux.

I'm missing the correct terms to search on though.

I'm looking for a way to mount the video card parallel to the motherboard so as to get a thinner case. Similar to a 2u rack mount, only preferably smaller on the large dimensions.

What I have in mind is a mini-itx form factor with an i7-4770 and maybe one of those 6-way video cards.

I also need a KVM-friendly board, which in my understanding would equate to an ESXi-friendly board. Looking at something like http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=13-128-615&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&Pagesize=10&PurchaseMark=&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&VendorMark=&IsFeedbackTab=true&Keywords=virtualization#scrollFullInfo

So what I can't seem to find is a connector to tip the video card over 90 degrees, and a case that has the room and configuration to handle that. Anyone have any ideas?

Awesome!

I was thinking of something solid, but if these really work reliably for something like video then they'll be great.

Thanks!
