Dean--I've been looking into getting this machine as my primary desktop, however this warning appears at the top of the Dell page: Note: For server use only; CANNOT BE USED AS A DESKTOP. Dell does not support the use of a graphics card on the SC420 Is this accurate? Does the bios somehow not recognize graphics cards? Surely there are at least PCI slots in the machine. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
