Yeah, which is a big turn off. On the other hand: Just use Google to search
for the term "1u server with lcd":
http://www.google.com/search?q=1u+server+with+lcd&start=0&start=0
I just looked at the first returned link (www.aberdeeninc.com), but that gives
some nice ideas about features and pricing:

It's a "naked" 1U unit with LCD panel and minus the OS. The prices don't look
too bad although I have not yet started to compare them with other vendors of
similar units.
I could very well imagine using such a system in conjunction with Guardian
Digital EnGarde Secure Linux:

That's the OS (with GUI) which I plan to use for new boxes as long as Qbalt is
not yet available.
