The server itself (which you'll need to purchase from HP, Gateway, and others if you want the software, since it won't be sold separately) doesn't need a monitor, a mouse, or a keyboard. Instead, you simply plug it into your network and install the Home Server Console software on a PC on the same network. From the Console software, you can manage the access settings for all of your various PCs and users.
