Does anyone have experience of a "dumb terminal" setup that they would like to share?

Specifically, my kids love to use the computer, and of course they both want to use it at exactly the same time. At the moment I have two machines downstairs, but they are taking up quite a bit of space. Can I convert one of these to a "dumb terminal" - that is, just keyboard, video and mouse? The computer itself will be located elsewhere (probably the garage). I can use Cat5 or USB cable.

I have of course searched the forum for "dumb terminal" but came up with nothing relevant.

Thanks for looking!

PS. Apologies if "dumb terminal" is no longer a PC term (politically correct or personal computer)
