Hey! Your setup includes an old PC with those parts: a CPU from AMD FX-8320, 8GB DDR3 RAM (frequency not remembered), a Gigabyte 970A-UD3P PSU, and a 450W power supply (brand unknown). The GPU is missing, but you're planning to use it for NAS or web server purposes. You mentioned you know the CPU doesn't have an integrated graphics unit. Can you connect via SSH?

Don't try it yet. First install the OS, then detach the GPU and check if it remains usable.

Perhaps? Various boards allow headless operation, others don't, and I haven't tested the specific board yet. Most Gigabyte models I've used have supported it, though that isn't guaranteed. Regardless, you might need to obtain a GPU to configure it properly.

Shss needs no gpu because the shell runs locally—works on Linux, but I’m unsure about Windows support. You might try VNC or another GUI method instead.

Well that is true BUT some boards (especially old intel boards from what I am seeing) will not post without a graphics card present.

Absolutely nothing before this. I'm accustomed to relying on specialized servers.

Ensure 'halt on post error' is turned off. It's expected the board will display a VGA error during startup, but we need to know if it proceeds beyond that point.

You might remove the disk from that device, connect it to a different one, set up Linux on it, and then restore the FX system.
