Windows is malware

You'll probably be fine unless you trying to use some really power hungry fans. You would have to check the documentation on your motherboard to be sure, but most motherboard fan headers are good for about 1 amp.

4.3" ? YES PLEASE! Stop the giant display bullshit.

if we're going to bitch and whine about every company that faked an effect for an expo we'll list every company in existence.
 
so long as it works when it's possible for people to buy it, there's no problem.

Also, this. The textures look poor, yet he has textures set to 'high'.
 
The screens honestly look like Photoshopped PS4 screens. I hope I'm right to be honest.

I don't think there's anything else like it out there yet and I doubt there will be anything like it anytime soon for under $100.

It's just the content producers trying their best to encourage piracy

You could build your own nas server.

I use qBittorrent. /shrug

You could have the second computer as a virtual machine and passthrough a mouse and keyboard to that VM. For the display you would have to passthrough a discrete card to the guest VM. You can have the guest start up when the host boots. The host would have to be running GNU/Linux for this to work.
 
Edit: You might be able to do with without the discete card (meaning it is possible with a Windows host) although it might not be fast enough if you want to watch video on the guest. If you find a tool that will let you lock the host's cursor to one of the monitors, you can have have the VM start on boot full screened on the other monitor. Again, a second mouse and keyboard will be passed through to that VM.
 
Audio will all go through the host unless you also passthrough an audio device to the guest.

If you have a version of Windows that allows you to enable Remote Desktop the easiest thing to do is turn it on, create a user with RDP access and a very complex password, and then forward TCP port 3389 to the IP of your computer in your router. You can then RDP to your external IP from anywhere and it will connect to your computer.
 
Example.
 
MYCOMPUTER - 192.168.0.11 running Windows 7 Pro
- Enable Remote Desktop (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff404238.aspx)
- Add a user with a complex password, restrict access from users with simple passwords.
 
D-Link Router - 192.168.0.1 
- Login and forward TCP port 3389 to 192.168.0.11 (your PC)
- Check the status  page to find your external IP (from your ISP (lets say 255.22.31.21 just as an example.))
 
From wherever you are remotely (work).
- Run Remote Desktop (mstsc) and connect to 255.22.31.21, your router will forward the connection to your PC.
 
Personally I run a VM with Remote Desktop open on the internet and I remote to it and then to the other devices in my house. That way none of my main computers are directly accessible over the internet. 

Enable RDP in Windows and then you can connect to it using Microsoft's official app.
 
If you want to be able to connect to your desktop from outside your local network, go into your router and forward port 3389 from your desktop. You can then, rather than typing in the local ip of the desktop to connect, you type in <wan ip>:3389.

Adding onto what Omniomi said, I would use a Raspberry Pi and rdesktop for a thin client if the OP just wants to play around with the idea and not implement in it in a professional setting. Those thin clients are expensive for what they do.
 
If OP wants to hook everything up to the host machine, I'm not sure if there is a better way to do this, but you could passthrough a usb hub and video card to each vm. Each pair of video card and usb hub would be where you connect the mouse, keyboard, and monitor. The VM will have exclusive control over the mouse, keyboard, and monitor. You wouldn't be able to do this with a Windows  host, because as far as I know, there is no way to do PCI-passthrough in Windows. 

Not a fan of this video to be honest, very flashy not very informative. Wendell did a way better job when reviewing this board/freeNAS. Nice build tho.

1 minute on google and I found this: www.amzn.com/B006Z0Q2SI
I also stumbled upon a software solution called synergy. I didn't read much about it, so I'm not sure it would apply to your situation, but it might be worth checking out.

It's about time. Searching the internet for some file to download that after some unnecessary amount of clicks and "do you want to also install ..." is so archaic. Surely there will be a GUI for this by the time it is released. Great improvement. 

If the law says you can't own a gun and he printed one, then there's nothing wrong going on. I'm not saying that I agree with the law. 
 
Now about the idea of regulating 3D printers because the possibility that one could print a gun. That is ridiculous! You can make a high explosive with common chemicals at the grocery store if you have the know how. You can't regulate something like that because of the possibility that some idiot can do or make something illegal with it.

What is this mockery?

I block sigs because people fill them with rainbow coloured PC specs and it's distracting as fuck.

In the box that it came in.
