    Exclamation Complicated gaming/media center pc setup

    Ok, I am planning to purchase the parts to build a beefy gaming PC. I wanted to know I could connect the one computer to an HDTV (for 1080p xbmc, emulators, games) and a monitor (Web browsing, music, etc) together and use them at the same time by different people without conflicting mouse/keyboard/controller issues. Would this be possible by using different graphics cards (Nvidia on-board and Nvidia dedicated) and different x servers? Or is there some other solution?

    Hi

    What you saying does seem possible. I guess 2 people could be logged in and have 2 seperate outputs on two seperate Xservers.
    Kind of like a mini personal mainframe. (In theory)

    Personally, i'm not sure how this would be done. Hopefully someone with more knowledge can help.

    Thank you for the reply, it seems there is very little information on the Internet on the subject. If there is someone who might know a little on how this could be setup, I would appreciate a reply. Thank you.
