4 PCs into one

[Si3Rra_7]

My dad has this crazy idea : He wants a single tower pc to power 4 users at my country house ( which is also his farm ) where we go only on weekends and we dont like to bring our home pc every time  . 2 for gaming ( me and my bro ) , 1 for mild mild gaming ( mom ) and one for the video cameras for the farms .

I have no idea how to implement this , the rooms in which we need them are pretty far apart.  Virtual machines ? better of just buying separate PCs ?

 

Thanks in advance !1!1juan!

By separate pc's. Or an Nvidia grid if you have to much money.

Get a 900D, buy some shuttle cases, remove all HDD cages, mod the small cases for external WC provided by radiator mounts in the 900D. You might aswell consider Magnum STH10, it is a train compared to the 900D and you can put 4 PSUs in there so you could have that external too.

 Considered it , rooms too far for hdmi signal

I don't know how you would implement this, so I'd have to say buy separate ones. However, having a master PC running everything sounds pretty cool. I could imagine that the HAF Stacker would be good for something like that.

yeah... umm... not gonna happen. VM's have too much overhead, and no single consumer-level PC is powerful enough to game inside multiple VM's.

[LogicalDrm]

One basic laptop, two higher end laptops or basic pcs, one older machine with linux for cameras. Or even tabled for mild gaming.

Use those new cm stacker cases, just please dont stack more than one atx case unless your going to brace it or something.

O well there is stuff that does that used in libraries and schools and even some businesses but your not going to game on it, not even close.

Get a 900d, mount one board on the front, another on the ceiling, one on the ground and one either outside or drill in the window. get a bunch of power supplies. itx is best for this, cables will be everywhere and will need to be long.
