I bought a very cheap server yesterday - an HP ProLiant micro server for 160 euro
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.
Many servers, big or small (cheap or expensive) only come with USB ports, for quite some time now. Probably since you often don't leave the keyboard/mouse plugged into it.
You are quite right of course, I was being stupid. I see that in fact my old server (Dell PowerEdge T105) has USB keyboard and mouse, so I can use those temporarily.
