Just make sure it's accessable over the network, and you're set.
If it's goign to run X, and you really want a GUI, I'd suggest looking
into VNC.
One thing to remember, make sure the machine doesn't halt if it doesn't
detect a keyboard. This way, you can reboot it without having to have a
kbd in it.
I run several machines like this, without a mouse, kbd, or monitor.
Hell, they don't even have video cards.
