New to this forum and to ProxMox VE and starting to like it must better that ESXi.

So is there a way to use one of the VM's as your everyday personal computer? I have 2 Dell Poweredge R710's, 1 Dell 690 and 1 Dell 670 and would like to utilize them all as Proxmox servers and not a desktop. I have looked thru Google and YouTube to find what I need but also afraid I am not asking the question the right way because what comes up is people putting GPU's in their servers.

After looking on Google and Youtube I came across people putting GPU's in the R710 and they explained it's use as more processing power and also passed it to a VM for remote video (not sure what that does) but what if you installed a video card and passed it to the Proxmox VM and also passed a couple USB ports to it for the keyboard and mouse? Audio I was not worried about because HDMI has audio.

Would this be possible or am I trying to do an impossible configuration?

Thanks

Joe
