Setting up a Computer system?

Question

I would like to set up the "ultimate" computer system. I'd like to keep it fairly inexpensive. I'd like multiple screens, each of which can act independently of each other, but can also interact with each other. For example, I want a laptop that can become part of my desktop (as an additional screen) but can also detach and be its own computer. Is this possible?

Answer 1

First of all it's NOT the computer that counts It's the Operating system, for example a basic computer with 512 megabytes of ram and a reasonable Nvidia or ATI graphics card (that can't run windows 7) will out perform any top of the range windows 7 system, if you use the right operating system



People have moved over to the Mac thinking the Mac is the best computers available.The Mac is no better or different form any other Intel computer, What makes mac look better is the eye candy and the operating system,and People can still install windows on it, therefore the main thing about the mac is the operating system period, and that's less secure than windows is,



You want the ultimate computer, you also want the ultimate operating system and software to go with it, which is free to download and use. to see what I am talking about click on this link and watch the video clip it will blow your mind, this is the ULTIMATE operating system, Windows 7 or Mac can't come anywhere near this type of performance.

Answer 2

You'd have to have to buy two separate computers.



You can't build the "ultimate" computer system, without it being expensive.

It'll probably run you about between - $1,500-2,000 if you buy to computers.



Or if you decide on just one, you can make a pretty good desktop for around $1,000.



You can make one for around $700, but it won't be "ultimate", it'd be more for moderate

users. With a graphics card like a ATI HD RADEON 5770 or equivalent and an AMD Phenom x4

processor.

Answer 3

Yes it's possible - it's done all the time.



the "inexpensive" part is your problem.



You need a computer that supports multiple monitors, which means an expensive graphics card with multiple monitor ports. Then you need to buy the monitors themselves, which aren't cheap, and then you'll probably want a bracket to hold all the screens togethre.
