An LC or an LCII makes a great little headless server. To get around the need for a monitor to boot, I made a small "flat-bottomed U-shaped" jumper out of a paperclip, just large enough to short pins #7 and #10 on the monitor connector. That makes it think a 640x480 display is attached.

I tried this but it I can't get it to work. Maybe I've got the wrong pins #7 and #10. Am I counting them the wrong way?
