Despite supporting 6 Users, the U6 is the size of a standard Small Form Factor office PC. It’s not even a full-size tower. That keeps shipping costs to remote areas low.
Note the 3 Video Cards on the right-hand side. Onboard video is disabled as the Nvidia cards produce better performance. Each U6 is supplied with 3 x 2 meter DVI to VGA cables that let you connect standard VGA monitors to the DVI ports.
