no graphics at all = no monitor ports at all
so really what you're asking is...
Can a computer work without a monitor?
The answer is yes, but you don't have any interface so you can't see what you'd be clicking on etc.
Remote Desktop (or similar technology) FTW. 'Headless' servers are fairly common, although for obvious reasons, a PC without a monitor is not as useful.
Also, some systems can run a command line interface on a serial terminal over RS-232. I've debugged SUN SPARC workstations that had bad video cards or that wouldn't boot up at all like this.
IF your BIOS will allow you to boot with no video card installed, you can bring the system up (although, as noted, you will have no way to see what Windows is outputting to the screen directly). But a lot of PC BIOSes won't boot without some sort of video device installed.
