VGA Header for my Pro 6 RNDP6000

Hello,

 

Sorry to necro this thread.  At one point I read the thread that tells you which VGA header to buy from Amazon, but it seems all the links don't work, maybe the forums got re-numbered?

 

Anyway, I bought the XFX Low Profile Accessory Kit for around $20 off Amazon.  It comes with 2 headers, the bigger one works.

 

However, this was not a straight-up plug and play job, because the header cable is too short.  I am lucky in that I already had everything to make a Dupont 2.54mm pitch extension cable (that is the actual spec of the cable and connector).  I guess the problem is, most people won't have the connectors, the cables, or the $40 crimper that works to make these.  I am willing to make some if others need them for a nominal fee.  PM me for details.

 

Here are my pics, I got my VGA working right away, it was nice to be able to have direct console access in case I can't connect to the box.  I also poked around in the BIOS to see how the settings are configured.  This will be helpful if I ever upgrade the RAM or CPU.

 

Here are my pics:
