    So tried to build a cheap server rig after watching this video but I've run into a problem, I got everything up and running windows 7 but i tried to install the graphics card and it wouldn't recognize it (for the most part). I was able to get it to recognize the card twice, the first time i was able to install the drivers but after a reboot it wouldn't recognize the graphics card than about an hour later on the 50th reboot and settings change it used the graphics card for video signal only to blue screen and immediately turn off at the windows start screen. I'm at a loss, after googling a lot i have seen old forum posts saying both that this board will and wont work with modern graphics cards. Any one have any advice? What i bought: 2X4GB DDR2 ECC fully buffered ram S5000SL LGA 771 motherboard http://www.ebay.com/itm/281811738032?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT 2X Xeon X5450 3.0GHz N900 wireless card EVGA GTX 750ti 600watt power supply

    I don't remember any of the specs but this thing was the first PC i ever bought, it's an old dell pc that i got second hand and i threw in a cheap graphics card so it would run Fallout 3. I had to set the HDD to the side so the card would fit lol.

    I'm looking to build a second computer to replace my laptop as my 3D printer controller/project machine. This PC wont do much other than run the software that runs my 3D printer and at most running Solidworks and similar programs. Now for the interesting part i want this pc to be hidden completely and out of the way, so after watching the LTT video where Linus built a PC on the bottom of a desk i had the idea to build this PC into a large drawer in my desk i don't use for anything. Here is my pcpartpick list so far (the items with cost of $0 i already own) http://pcpartpicker.com/p/fqx4FT I'm looking to build this for as cheap as possible but it still needs to be able to render 3D models, I'm wondering is there any one who's done a drawer build and if i should go bigger on my processor? Also here is my current set up.
