Connecting two separate desktop PC's to a single dual monitor setup.
Hi,
I have always had custom built machines, and in the past I have always had the same desktop PC dual booting into two different versions Windows OS, for two different uses.
However after a recent HDD crash, on one of the system drives, which has been sent for recovery, I have decided to built two separate desktop PC's, and run each of the functions on each of the machines.
So up until this point all is well, and I am busy with my specification for my second PC, before I get ordering.
Where I am not sure if I am painting myself into a corner is with my LCD monitor setup. I currently have 2 x 24" SAMSUNG monitors, that I have been using for the previous build, and the first of my new builds. That setup works for the gaming and also for the music recording that I do. I am not particularly displeased with the monitors, or interested in selling to buy anything different.
So my question is, when I do eventually end up finishing the second PC build (for music recording), is there a way that both PC towers can be connected to the same dual monitor set up? I would obviously not be using both machines at the same time, however their functions need them to be separate machines, also given the fact that I have developed a negative attitude towards dual booting now, because of my recent experience with my one HDD crashing.
Any assistance or advice will be appreciated.
