I'm thinking of using it as a headless and diskless "black box" that
one could co-locate with a larger server (like a SUN with a tty console)
and literally attach it to the back with a piece of velcro. It would be 
attached to both a network and the larger server's console via its
serial port. It would then be used  to provide remote access during 
crisis situation and very possibly some kind of console
monitoring/logging function. 

When we get one to boot, all the rest boot for the price of the box
plus the cost of adding a DHCP record.
