I just bought a rack version of Dell's 7920 workstation, because it was a great deal cheaper than the tower version. It seems like the rack is a loud beast, meant to be hidden away. I'm going to be using it for one person to do Premiere editing and encoding and lightroom work.
I'd like to to put it on my desktop so I can access all it's ports and throw quiet noctua fans in it, but unsure whether I can install those fans into what is basically a server, and have them be controlled properly.
Alternately, I could remote access into the system, using RDP or PCoIP. RDP would be free, PCoIP would require me to purchase a client and host card. Could RDP over a local network support 4k? Could PCoIP? And could either deliver it without any compression? Would a zero client allow me to connect a USB DAC and custom lightroom keyboard in addition to a regular keyboard and mouse?
