Remote access options?

I am considering remote access (no keyboard set up on the machine itself) for general maintenance. I know I will have to plan for keyboard access in an emergency but would like to do most of the work remotely. I plan on having my cabinet on my home network and access it using a free program like Log Me In (https://secure.logmein.com/products/free/). I have been using this successfully for a few years, mostly with family and friends to provide computer help when they have problems on their PCs.
Has anyone tried this on their project? Any other remote access options that have worked well? Any feedback would be appreciated.

VNC or RDP they both work great. RDP is already on the machine if you have windows xp+ and does everything you want it to do.
I also have a mini bluetooth key also in case I want to control it at the terminal. http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=mini+bluetooth&hl=en&prmd=imvns&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.,cf.osb&biw=1667&bih=905&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=5442695877788006968&sa=X&ei=KWHST5XLEIS62wXzwOSRDw&ved=0CL8BEPMCMAc. This way you dont have any wires sticking off of your cab.
