Server Video Card?

I'm planning on building a server so that I can host game servers on for other people, and honestly I don't know where to even begin with the video card. I am aware of Quadro's being good for servers, but for the price of the K4200 4Gb I can buy something that, seemingly, performs better. I'm not super informed on the whole Quadro-server-performance deal, so if someone can help me out and decide whether to go with the Quadro or something else that would be great.

You usually just need the basic adapter in the BMC for the initial install and you never use a "proper" video card in a server. You just remote into it.

If you are just hosting game servers and that sort of thing you need very little graphics power, it seems you would be better off with something low power because it could be running for long periods of time.

I use a Geforce GT 210 2gb in my home server because I got it new for $20 and it does nothing 24/7 but the machine needs a graphics adapter to POST.
