When things go very wrong, and you are trying to fix it, the last thing you need is to have to try to find a keyboard/display/mouse that fits and works. You want to be able to slide the tray out and be able to start work, not to be getting raised blood pressure and palpitations.
That too. :) It looks like we'll just sit the keyboard on top of another component because we do not have a sliding tray. We do have a a nice rack VESA bracket thanks to Martin, who said this morning that he is donating it. We will be using a small widescreen LCD that I'm donating. It takes up fewer u-height than the monitor Dean loaned us -- we'll no longer need that one with a regular server; that one was needed for the Pi but now we'll be back on standard VGA. I am hopeful of having it all set up ahead of VCF East.
