[ILUG] Slightly OT - PowerEdge T105 and 16x PCI-Express graphics card

[Ivan Griffin]

Hi,

I picked up one of those chep T105s, which are really nifty and super 
quiet boxes - at the expense of having bog-standard onboard video.

Has anyone tried a T105 with a 16x PCI-Express graphics card?
Will the BIOS support it? Will Linux / X11 see it?

Does the T105 have those DELL plastic dividers in the slot to prevent the 
use of standard 16x cards?

Are wearout extenders available for 16x PCI-Express? i.e. something cheap 
that could be dremel'd without voiding the motherboard warranty?

Cheers,
Ivan.
