I recently was given the tower for an HP Compaq dc5800. I'm not planning on needing to interface with it very often, and I was planning on setting it up so I could access it remotely from my Macbook Pro (running Sierra V. 10.12. 15" circa 2011. 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 processor). For this reason, I don't have a display for it, nor do I have a keyboard. I was wondering if there was a way to boot it up onto my Macbook Screen and use the keyboard. I'm assuming it would require some sort of wiring initially (since I know how to do it wirelessly, I just need to be able to access it the first time in order to set it up wireless). Is there an easy/cost effective way to link the two? I'm really trying to avoid buying a screen and keyboard just for the sake of set up.
Pretty much. you may find VNC or Team-Viewer like applications infuriating due to the latency and low resolution they provide, depending on what you are trying to use them for – Blaine – 2016-10-06T04:16:10.330
