If you are colocating the box, I recommend either HP servers with iLO or Sun machines like the v20z or x2100 etc. that have a nice Lights Out Management (LOM) feature. With either the HP or Sun systems you can even do virtual media, where you boot the remote system off an ISO image or a CD/DVD disk stored on your laptop or desktop system, It will save you a huge amount of time and effort the first time you are miles away from the machine and there is some kind of issue that you need to diagnose.
