Sorry for the late replys,

I have this OS. Windows Server 2010, when loading it says 2008R2, then 2010. The video I have seen advertising it shows one PC with 5 "outstations", connected by USB hubs for the key / mouse. It shows all 5 pc`s running their own programmes, independant monitors with different progs running, seperate from the others, so, yes, one PC runing 5 outstations.

I currently have 3 pc`s, 2 running simple games & 1 for me, surfing & the odd word programme. When I saw the amount of leccy they drew, I looked for an alternative, server looks to be right.

I want 1 PC, with 1 master station, & 3 outstations, 2 for games & 1 for my cctv system. Take a look here:

Server 2010 should allow this, assuming I can find how to connect the monitors, which will be......2..HDMI / VGA Monitor, 2, D-Sub, or VGA to 2 TV`s. Basicly, 4 graphics outlets. I have no idea how to amalgamate 4 video cards, & of course, windows dont tell you, I have dual output cards, but I`m sure they only output the same screen anyway.

Has anyone used, or set up such a system. I recon it will save me a bomb on leccy.
