I would like at least KVM ports. I once "locked" myself out of my RaQ after disabling telnet and installing SSH. The problem was in the ssh-init script, so when I rebooted, I had no way to get in. With console access, I could have fixed this with no problems. As it stood, I had to send the unit back to cobalt for a replacement. Luckily, it was brand new with no customers on it :^) Live and learn.

This must depend on what you're looking for. Frankly, in a rackmount service I'm looking for a system with no keyboard, mouse, vga ports. When I see 1u systems with keyboard and mouse ports, vga and sound, the first thing that comes to mind is that they're using a cheap generic all-in-one motherboard.
