I've got 2 rigs sitting around and I'd like to have them fold untill I decide their fate. Once I have the OS config'd does it need a monitor,keyboard and mouse to run?

no not really...
I had a folding box like that for a while..

I used to hook up a monitor every once in a while to check on it though..


Mouse and Keyboard you might need not sure about that one..
I had a mouse + Kbd hooked up, heck the comp was in the closet and I throw the mouse and kbd on top of the case....

I just used a monitor to fire them up and get them started. once they're up and running, you dont need a monitor ;)

I think in some bios, it require u to have a keyboard to boot up, don't think mouse tho.

you might need the keyboard/mouse with some computers. i have 3 pc's folding with no keyboard, monitor, or mouse pluged in... they work great (once you get past the boot-up point that is):D
