Xserve Cluster Node Server Wrong Purchase

I feel a little foolish posting this, but I figure I'm probably among  
friends. ;-)

I recently purchased a G5 Xserve on eBay to deploy a dedicated 4D  
database application. Would have used a MacPro, but 4D Server isn't  
universal binary yet and our timing tests indicate our application  
will be significantly faster on a G5.

The Xserve arrived today & I now realize I actually purchased a  
Xserve cluster node server. I see there is no video card onboard so I  
can't connect a monitor. Am I screwed? Can I get this machine to work  
anyway? I'll be placing this unit on the same rack adjacent to a G4  
and G5 Xserve running other applications. Will that help my setup at  
all?
