Hey guys, I'm not a noob when it comes to computers but I'm usually several years behind in tech. I've searched around and found questions similar to mine but not exactly the same thing, I wasn't quite sure which category to post under so I just picked this one.
What I want is to have multiple workstations set up around the house (Monitor, kb, and mouse) all somehow connecting via ethernet to a central PC. Only one workstation would be active at a time so there's no need for multi-seat setups or anything like that. The PC is running Win7 Pro if it matters.
What I'm hoping for is a 'direct' connection as though the computer thinks each workstation is a directly connected set of peripherals. Sort of like a reverse KVM switch but over ethernet.
Anyone know of anything out there that could accomplish this? I assume not, but it would be nice. I currently have multiple PC's spread around the house and they're in the way and noisy.
I appreciate any feedback!
btw, I've thought about using some kind of small zero client but they seem to require the central PC to be running a server OS or you have to use remote desktop which would preclude me from any gaming over the connection. (light gaming, WoW, WoT, etc. No crazy FPS stuff)
