Hi guys
I am halfway through building a headless server to use dedicated to plex.
The motherboard I have purchased does not have any video outputs(on purpose as once its set up i have no need for a monitor), i originally planned to leave it running 24/7 but in hindsight of saving on the electricity bill i thought i would mess about with WOL packets and automatic sleeps. I intend to put an old Video card in I have lying around to get it all set up then remove the video card after the setup is finished, so my question is after I have installed everything and it is all set up and i remove the video card, will the PC boot or does it need to have an available video output?
thank
Sam
