If you have one of the HP Media Smart Server or the Acer easyStore Home Server, you now have an option to add VGA video output to it.

I own an Acer easyStore Home Server. It comes in an attractive cube shape case and it runs very silently.

However, it does no come with any video output. Like many HP Media Smart Servers, they are designed to be headless network attached storage devices. But what if you need to install a different OS or want to tweak the BIOS settings?

VOV Technology brings us a custom cable that connects to the service port on the motherboard of these Home Servers.

By connecting this cable to the server, you can now have VGA video output directly from your originally headless server. If you are interested in more information, read more about it here.
