yes, most laptops don't have a video IN signal, at least for CRT/DVI connections.
You can do what cnthetiq does, and use VNC, which is sweet, because you connect with the same permissions as the logged on user. I use VNC to connect to my server when I need to run something w/full admin rights. However it tends to be a bit slow. If you're running XP on your network, you can use remote desktop to connect. A LOT faster, and it works great!
and yeah, only power and network need be plugged in the PC box. I'd recommend booting it one final time w/a monitor attached, and change BIOS to halt on no errors, otherwise it will stop booting every time, when there is no keyboard attached.
