Stripping down old PC to use as a server.
Mobo does not have a monitor port.
If I remove the video card, and the only monitor ports, would I still be able to VNC into the desktop, if there is nothing there to actually render a desktop?
Unless the mobo still renders the desktop in the absence of video output... that is my question. Do I need to keep the video card in the system?
Quick question to save me some time.
Yes, you will still be able to access the machine.
However, you must use a monitor to do the initial setup.

No, I had a card in it, I would just rather not have it because, for 99.9% of its remaining life, it is just going to be spinning a fan, generating heat, and using electricity.
But the mobo doesn't have a video adapter and my one experiment told me that VNC wont work without a video renderer.

Interesting.
I skipped the "remove the video card part", as like Catt, I ran a lot of PCs without monitors.
I would've tossed a coin on whether on not you could remote into it without one.
