Just make sure it's accessable over the network, and you're set.

If it's goign to run X, and you really want a GUI, I'd suggest looking 
into VNC.

One thing to remember, make sure the machine doesn't halt if it doesn't 
detect a keyboard.  This way, you can reboot it without having to have a 
kbd in it.

I run several machines like this, without a mouse, kbd, or monitor. 
Hell, they don't even have video cards.
