theres plenty to pick from:

- livestreaming setups (theres people that stream with up to 4 computers)

- company servers that need a new servers, but also need an old, legacy system, and have limited space

- home server and desktop in one box

Multitasking on a second monitor while gaming fullscreen on the other. There are KVM switches that swap inputs with keyboard shortcuts. The other monitor could support touch for that matter. Most games these days can handle going back and forth just fine but by no means not all of them, this is where my dual-mobo rig would get handy.

How would it work? Would it restart your computer to get the other mobo working or do they work at the same time? Also is it worth doing?
