And some m/baords have built-in video chipsets so it's a moot point
in those cases.  My IBM PS/1 is a case in point (incidentally it's a
486sx/25 which i think would handle a couple of dozen mailboxes plus
IP NAT for a small-to-medium  width leased-line or a partial T1),
cost all of #8 for the m/board, CPU, PSU and chassis.
