Hi Jon,

Speaking of that sort of thing, I'd really LOVE if there were a device about
the size of a netbook that could be hooked up to otherwise headless machines
in colos that would give you keyboard, video & mouse.  i.e. a folding
netbook shaped VGA monitor with USB keyboard and touchpad.  I know there are
folding rackmount versions of this (i.e. from Dell), but I want something
far more portable.  Twice in the past month, I'd had to drive 100+ miles to
a remote colo and took a full size flat panel monitor and keyboard with me.
 Has anyone actually built this yet?

What about something like this?
