I bought a very cheap server yesterday -
an HP ProLiant micro server for 160 euro
(280 euro with 120 cashback, for some reason).
But I was surprised when I opened the box
to find it didn't come with keyboard or mouse,
and doesn't have the old keyboard/mouse sockets,
but requires USB versions.

You get what you pay for.
Yes ps/2 plugs are a thing of the past. Servers have for the last 5 or so years
been usb only. Usually with a usb in the front as well as in the back.
There are usb/ps2 converters but usb/mouse is very cheap. Your adapter would
most likely cost the same or more.

while I'd agree with the rest of your assessments, on servers 1 nic is
NOT that common, 2 or 4 built in nics is far more common.

Neither are servers for €160! At that price I would expect to buy
another card or just use vlans!

Well, I was hoping to connect one to my ADSL modem (non WiFi)
and one to my router (LinkSys WRT54GL router).
And I see I have to put in a PCI-E NIC, not a common-or-garden PCI.
Why can't they leave

thats what people said about ISA bus when PCI came out and replaced it.
btw, make sure you get a LOW PROFILE pci-e card for that thing.

Because a PCIe x1 slot smokes your run of the mill PCI slot any day?

If you can't implement vlans, what about 'trunking on the cheap' with
both subnets using the same switch? Not ideal,

But there are extensive instructions (on a CD!)

Best to use cobbler for that anyway.
One last thing - there is only one ethernet socket.
