How reasonable is it to remote into these machines?  That is, would you be satisfied with a combination of Terminal Services, XNest and VNC?

If not, how many and what kinds of inputs do you have?  Also, what OS is on them? 

I have an ATEN CS62DU [1] and a rebadged-as-StarTech ATEN CS104U [2], neither of which I'm using anymore.  the latter has one bad USB port, but otherwise worked fine when I pulled it from service.  I'd be all to happy to find them a better home.
