      Nice!

      And yes, the thumbnails do look good

      What are you running on it, how is the performance, could it be cooled passively?
      There's an Opera in my macbook.

        Each is running XP. Passive would be possible, if the main pc stayed on all the time...im looking into a separate external psu for the fans

        I also believe in overcooling first, and then if its too noisy, turn down

        Its not too bad, just have to set up the keyboards properly...

          You could use this to combine keyboard and mouse http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/ (if one PC is always on)

          Cool project btw.

            Only if each PC has its own display...

            If not, VNC might be an option (or Remote Desktop).

              True enough, I was assuming they do.

                  I had to include that, knowing who bought laptops recently

                    I think 1400x900 on a 14" screen is enough to qualify as a MURCer. And hey, my integrated graphics are slow, so they should count as half-Matrox anyway

                          If I wear my glasses upside down, it looks like I have two monitors

                              The keyboard setup I was referring to is the fact that I have a small Laptop style desktop keyboard, which is AZERTY and all my OS's are US English, so not only do the keys not all match up, but when the num lock is on, i type numbers as well...

                              It's a pain in the arse trying to remap all the keys in my mind...

                              I've done it now, cos it got way too annoying having to go back through posts and check everything...

                              I tried VNC, and its sh*t slow, better than PC Anywhere, but still cack.
                              Remote Desktop is a godsend for speed and usefullness, except when you have network errors, or are constantly fiddling with it...

                              No, the best option was a KVM switch, I can even do the BIOS on all 4 Machines...its just a shame that I have 5 machines.
                              Well, I suppose my 19" iiyama's gonna have to go on PC2... Also looks like its gonna have to migrate back to taking up half the workbench in the garage...

                              edit: somewhere where no one can hear it...
