Im not sure of the size of your installation, but... one thing i started doing was not having the servers bootup into rio, and just run in 'console' mode, often headless. for that the integrated video works fine (especially if you are short a few video cards). Im not sure about the new fs, but the old one didnt have any sort of graphics anyways so, of course, an integrated video works there as well.
