I've heard of these, but never used (or seen) one.  I did get a quote
for one while putting together a K box a while ago.  Don't remember how
much it was though.

I think they marketed a K-box (K460-80) as a deskside workstation for
people who needed more cpus than any other workstation they offered
(which I don't think any others could do cpus > 2).

I suppose this is similar to putting a framebuffer in a L or N box
(which I'm pretty sure you can do), but I think the card is just a 
plain
  framebuffer with no fancy graphics power.
