Not as bad as hearing the same tale about life support machines in a
hospital. I'm sure that's an urban myth though, the monitor alarms
would go off.

I had to put a video card in what I wanted as a headless server. It
flatly refused to boot without one, even after jiggering the BIOS
options all over the place.
I guess you've got four options:
* Change motherboard
* Change BIOS settings
* Leave a keyboard plugged in
* Rip the small circuit board out of a keyboard, and have that
plugged in (if a whole huge keyboard is too much to leave with
the gear)
