so im planing to mount another computer in my case (case labs th10) and i was wondering if you have any idea's, links, input. im in Canada so all prices will be converted to Canadian.

Why im doing this? well one pc is going to have windows 10 for the dx 12 and the other is the surfer the net and watching videos, music.

i still am working out what mb im putting in but i want 2 monitors for both computer (so ill need 2 kvm's or a duel kvm)

my problem is do i send the cables just out a pci slot or do i go all out and make pci adapters.

so the adapter i would need is panel mount Ethernet, at lest 1 usb, 1 3.5mm jack, and an dvi/hdmi if there is one (i should look in to that haha i missed that.

im planing on just taking a old pc case and cutting out the mb tray with pci slots and mounting that to the case.

for power well case sports 2 psus so im good there (i do have the cable that can let the other mb no when it powers on i guess) or i could just get another power button. i can use the reset button as a power button too.

didn't seem to be an dvi to panel mount guess hdmi it is. the kvm i get will be dvi. so ied need a hdmi to dvi adapter. witch i think i have.

 

the problem with buying from china it seem things take like 2+ moths to arive or not at all.

and the problem buying in us is the shipping and border fees...

I recommend you just getting another monitor?

i want one computer that has windows 10 for the dx12 for games and i want one pc with windows 7 for just surfer the net music moves. i do not like windows 10 for the tracking and data mining so ill just use it for games only.

Oh, I understand now. Maybe get a chromebook instead? Portability can't be a bad thing you know :P I don't understand the need for having a desktop for just surfing the net. Laptops are more suited for the less demanding needs.

well i have an old rampage 2 extreme with an i7 920 6gb ram and an gigabit winforce gtx 760. but the mb is water cool atm and im going way for it so i have to see if i can get the mb heat sink form my dad to put it back to air. if not then im looking for a duel core, min 4gb ram, min ddr3. i did some research and this is some data i got.

am3 mb $70

2core $22

3core $32

4core $35

 

am3+ mb $80
