This looks awesome. I was looking for a solution like this last year. I budgeted a few hundred bucks but couldn't find anything. Ideally would have a way to handle a few different boxes.

I did see something called Intel AMT, part of Intel vPro. https://www.howtogeek.com/56538/how-to-remotely-control-your... Does anyone have experience with this? (I have AMD box so doesn't help me) - actually looks like AMD has similar https://developer.amd.com/tools-for-dmtf-dash/

I just set up AMT for a bunch of servers.

It is possible but extremely tricky to set up AMT headless on a self built Intel. You basically need to press keyboard keys at the right time. Too challenging without a display.

Devices don’t load AMT configuration from USB by default unless a vendor configured them to. In which case the vendor just ships you AMT enabled in the first place.

Better to just image the disk on a different computer.
