This is how I access systems all the time now.  I have several
computers and I've gotten rid of all but the one monitor

On another forum and someone asked about "backup power".  My plan
was to run off battery power 24x7 and then just not worry about how to
do the switchover.  Same concept here always work remotly and then just
not worry about switch over.  Some times I will use the little vertual
screens, one for each remote system I am connected to.  Like using a
KVM switch.

About the comment about heat.  Was a 65W CPU chip in a small box can
get warm if surrounded by an insulating blanket.  But there are a few
things you can do.
1) Run the system in full power save mode.
2) turn on the fan or set the turn-on threshold very low
3) Get a wooden board to place under the computer and maybe
some kind of spacer blocks to hold the computer off the board.
board/block setups are available commercially too
