I respect this effort, I think it's a great accomplishment.

I think most people are better off building their own home (lab) server with a motherboard that supports IPMI (KVM over IP) natively.

Supermicro (only brand I've experience with) or other brands that build server motherboards all include IPMI with HTML5 support.

Doing so will save you a lot of trouble. Maybe you may not be able to run the kind of hardware you want, but it's all a tradeoff. You have to choose.

I have HP Microservers (quiet) and a Proliant (loud) all with ILo (HP IMPI) and it's awesome.

So the recent Supermicros have a HTML5 iKVM, but mine originally came with a Java-only thing. When I had to send my box away to get repaired (Intel C2000 bug) it magically came back with a newer firmware that wasn't listed on their site and supported HTML5. I haven't been able to get remote ISOs working with the new interface, though.
