Yeah, that's what I was thinking of when I asked my question.

The box I have in mind is currently relegated to the hallway
(used its kvm port already).  It's an old Gateway PPro200. I'll 
throw it back on over the weekend to see if its bios will allow
headless booting. Or just boot it w/ the kvm, detach kvm and 
slap it on a UPS.
