From what i can see, it is one of the recommended server boards, seems to have a nice layout and various cooling options.

Just remember there is no video out on board.

Then it should be perfect for your needs.

Just get like a GTX 610 or 620, nice cheap multimedia cards.

Probably any GFX card will be fine for just viewing the desktop, managing stuff, ect.
Maybe a 6450(~20$ min), 610(~25$ min), or you can pick up a Radeon 5450 or GeForce 210 for less then 20$.
Any graphics card would work.

OT:
Z9PE-WorkStation is a good WS/Server Motherboard. Would probably work very well.
