[QUOTE="jdc753, post: 5347903, member: 572078"] x2, this is what I was saying, and about the only reason I could see for running 2 machines is for high CPU applications such as burning that will absolutely cripple your game play. I used to run 2 computers through a KVM switch ([B]K[/B]eyboard [B]V[/B]ideo [B]M[/B]ouse) and was pretty good, but at the time I had both computers just laying around and was much cheaper to buy a KVM instead of a second monitor and inputs, plus not much room on the desk. When I got my new monitor about a year ago instead of stuffing the old monitor in the closet I hooked both of them up. I gotta say after having 2 monitors I don't think I will ever go back to just 1. Gaming full screen on one monitor and browsing the net or having aim/winamp ect open on the second monitor and such. If all you need is a burning/downloading machine and not a second gaming machine that you will be using at the same exact time as the other then just get a KVM switch and a cheap 5-port hub and call it a day.
