Doesn't it depend on what you will be using it for?
I use my Linux machines without monitors, it doesn't effect my use of the machines at all. IF you are going to use your old hardware for something not very demanding such as a firewall then simply do not load anything other than the admin tools.

I've loaded Redhat with no GUI on Pentium I machines with 128 megs of ram and it ran fine, it just took a little longer to boot.
