How-to: Combine 2 computers to run as one.

what u need is a KVM Switch

A KVM switch (with KVM being an abbreviation for Keyboard, Video or Visual Display Unit, Mouse) is a hardware device that allows a user to control multiple computers from a single keyboard, video monitor and mouse. Although multiple computers are connected to the KVM, typically a smaller number of computers can be controlled at any given time. Modern devices have also added the ability to share USB devices and speakers with multiple computers. Some KVM switches can also function in reverse - that is, a single PC can be connected to multiple monitors, keyboards, and mice. While not as common as the former, this configuration is useful when the operator wants to access a single computer from two or more (usually close) locations - for example, a public kiosk machine that also has a staff maintenance interface behind the counter, or a home office computer that doubles as a home theater PC.

something like this:





or
if naa mo space, pag open ug internet cafe. or gamezone ( counter, starcraft, dota if kaya )
income pa na!


hope nka tabang ko.

u need a minimum of 3 computers to do it...one would be the "master" & the other two would be the "slave"...we have done it using Redhat AS Linux...quite complicated but doable. that's how we have setup our server/render farm before...i don't think u would like to go this route...there are a 1000&1 ways to "surprise & make you & your hubby very happy"

kung e himo nimong server pwede cguro.

it's like this,
4 PC run as server.
1 PC to run as Main Server - this server will act as load balancing server,
redirects clients to 4 different servers.

other than that. dili possible.
pwidi tingali paagi pilosopo.

2or more computers mag dagan at the same time,
with only 1 monitor (then using a switch, to switch between computers).
Tada! all in one computer!

go to buy and sell section. sell all computer. buy new ones. ^_^ <- best alternative IMO

if you mean taking out parts of 5 computers and making 1 "working" computer, that's possible. if u mean, having the 5 computers to work as one, thats quite impossible.

anyways, i guess its more surprising for your husband to sell those 5 computers and buy him a new computer part like say a graphics card.

goodluck on your surprise, happy birthday? happy anniversary? happy whatever...
