Excellent. Thanks Malcolm. I have a case all ready for that one and a
position on a KVM switch. I'm off to get another KVM tomorrow for the
others, gotta go to Auckland anyway and I decided against going
broadband with Wired Country so I have a little to spend. Dial-up
will do for a bit longer.

No problems...arrrgh..run them headless and use VNC, much easier. You
can wind the colour down to 256 colours and get some more performance
points out of it.

I have zero experience with VNC, wouldn't even know how to go about it. <G>

What gear is needed? Should I be getting an ethernet switch with more ports
instead of a KVM?

Told you I have no experience with it.

It's a remote access program to control the PC. Have a look here and d/l it... http://www.realvnc.com/ It runs as a server application over your network. On a main machine you run the viewer and it brings up the desktop.
