Gaming System...
Hey dudes...
I appreciate the advice I get here, my question is... I basically want to build a separate gaming rig. Something that is capable of running F.E.A.R. for example. All I ask is for your pro opinion on this set up..

1G DDR2 ram
120 GB Hard drive
WinXP Home service pack 2

Also... do I really need a floppy drive, if so can i transfer my existing HD and floppy from an old PC that i have.

Thanks for your time.

Talking change of plans...
I manage to get my hands on a sweet system...with all the components listed above!
so I guess my new question is ...how do I connect both towers to one monitor??

thanks again for your time....

hi frnkj00,

I'm not a Gamer, so I'm not sure if there is an implied requirement here; but if you just want to use 1 monitor linked to 2 (or more) PC's at the same time then you need a KVM Switch.

KeyBoard Video Mouse

These boxes let you have 1 Keyboard, 1 Monitor, and 1 Mouse that you can switch to say one of 4 different PC's, only 1 PC at a time.
