How many boards does it take to get one of those things running - would it
be possible with only the CPU board running "headless"?  Looking at the size
of the fridge I pointed out it might be possible if the guts of the VME rack
were empty of all except the CPU board.  Limited function sure but it would
still technically be the same machine.

Although the Indy idea has some potential too - can anyone say "Fridge Cam"?
