This works, though the bracket won't fit without more modification than I 
want to do.

Cube ran fine without the enclosure. Card overheated quickly anyway, even 
with an external fan pointed at it.

VNC or ARD to work. I'm not sure what is needed- the old methods of 
attaching a KVM or converter obviously aren't available.
