The problem is that the computer is in the monitor. When the computer
is up the monitor is on, while with a regular workstation you can turn
of the monitor when you are not using it.

I'm not sure how you would change regular console output. When running
X11 you could, of course, have a black background and xterms with black
background and white text.
