Well, don't get me wrong. The box will still have a face. I need some way to peer inside.

Depends what you want to do with it, how you want to peer inside. I get along just fine with only an Ethernet jack. And, you don't need a monitor to be able to run X windows applications (over the network.) I run bunches of X apps over the network all the time. In fact, I sometimes run X windows applications over the Internet (via encrypted coms.)
