There's a correct way to solve the problem. You can get a GPU dock for like $100-300. Or you can get a long PCIE riser for like $20, and hook up an unused PSU and jump the start pins on the ATX cable with a paperclip. There's a correct way to use multiple psus too, but I had a paperclip and didn't have a jumper cable. Anyways it's stable enough that uptime is at a year and it hasn't started a fire yet.

No integrated graphics. The server has a pair of old E5-2695 v4 CPUs and I picked up an 3060 to run some local AI but it didn't fit in the 2u chasis even though I had a spare PCI-E slot. Absolutely would not recommend a single part of this setup.

On one hand my instance is hosted on a mostly self-contained box, but it does have a GPU hanging out the back
