Agreed. Just make sure the board you choose can redirect its output to a serial port or (much better) to an Ethernet port. Then you can mind it quite nicely if you are comfortable on the command line, which is all that a server really needs.
You should also check that it can boot without a mouse or keyboard attached. Often they can, but not always, particularly if you go for a consumer-level board. "Real" server boards do not suffer from this problem.
