Hi Guys, I Have 2 younger brother. i watched Linus's video 1 PC 7 Gamers, can i have like 1 PC 2 Gamers ? because i think it's cool to look. is that more worth it than having 2 separated PC ?

if yes, can you guys help me picking the parts ? i never been making 1 PC 2 Gamers Before. for games we play AAA games like star wars, battlefield, and GTA. so maybe we need some decent hardware to run that for 2 Persons. or maybe we can use 1 Case to fit 2 separate PC ? thank you very much

2 seperate pcs will be much better than 1 pc running a VM. Its more troublesome, expensive and if anything fails, both virtual machines won't work. Get something like a coolermaster stacker case or one that can fit 2 pcs instead, or just get 2 m-itx pcs and deal with the extra bulk.

the issues with two gamers compared to two seperate boxes:

- usually more expensive

- ONE HELL of a hassle to set up

- stupidly impractical

- both systems are tied together, so the two people are basicly forced to play side by side, with the box in the middle

- USB is a pain

 

the issues with two seperate systems:

- more space usage

- you have more "overhead cost" like needing two cases and two power supplies (kinda outweighed by needing better hardware in two gamers)

 

conclusion: two gamers is a fun project, it's a great example of what is to come to the home, but as of yet it's nothing more than that. just like a concept car it looks really cool, you secretly want it, but it's so hilareously impractical it's honestly not worth it.

Not sure if you had seen this video. Its essentially "2 Gamers, 1 CPU"

Pros and cons, others have mentioned.
