My company has a Dell PowerEdge SC1435, and we would like for some of our employees to be able to occasionally log in to it through Remote Desktop and run a specific 3D application on it. The 3D application does not have to run well, it simply needs to be able to start and allow simple menu interaction with it. Is it possible to install a 3D graphics card in the server named above? Is there room in the case? Will it cause problems with heat and airflow?
I do not have physical access to the server yet, but I should soon, and I can get more exact measurements of the server then. Until then all I know is that this is a 1U server with the following specs:
