How about putting the monitor back in, setting the initial runlevel (using /etc/inittab) to 3. This is what I have done (although I've never had the same problem as you) and it's quite happily sitting on my left, being controlled by SSH, with a network kable and a pair of speakers playing my music LOL.

However, when I remove the monitor cable, the system does not boot -- it repeatable tries to access the CD every few seconds. It boots with the mouse and keyboard removed, and even if I power off the monitor. Removing the monitor cable seems to cause the problem. I would like to use the system as a desktop again later so I prefer not to uninstall the KDE desktop. Any ideas on what I can do to free up my monitor?
