Can you just get a pcie extender and mount it sideways?
That's a thing a lot of low-profile systems do that need to stuff tall cards into them.
Worth checking, though the 3U isn't super-spacious inside
I've seen people stuff GPUs in 1 and 2u cases so you probably could depending on how deep the case is/how the internal layout is and if you can find somewhere safe to stuff it.
"find somewhere to stuff it" instructions unclear....
If it’s a backup server why not build a system around an CPU with an integrated GPU? Some of the APUs from AMD aren’t half bad.
Particularly if it’s just your backup… and you can live without games/video/acceleration while you repair your primary?
That's probably the plan, though I see an Intel a380 low-profile for all of $100 that might be useful for some encode/decode tasks
You could look into low profile GPUs. Off the top of my head, the 3050 is probably the strongest of those, unless you're willing to look into the A-class cards
Look at workstation cards. Things like the T1000 for example.
