Q. So my brother and I bought a nice computer a bit ago but we want to play the same games together so I am wondering if I can add another monitor/keyboard and mouse if we can play something like sc2 at the same time??? Thank you
A. Depends upon how many cores in processor, or if multi-threading, or if you have the speed and processing power to do a high frame rate with two games running.
Dual screens are easy. What is hard is separate keyboard and mouse inputs from two people. There might be a software solution. http://www.userful.com/products/downloads/free-2-user is one, but for Linux OS only. Don't know if the games you wish to run will work in that OS.
Doesn't look good for a Windows machine. http://facepunch.com/threads/1010461 refers to a dead forum thread.
"Thats designed purely for splitscreen, if you want to launch two copies of a game, youll need the auto window manager, and force both copies of the game to be focus together. if you want to launch two source games, youll need procexp(?). Open it, find the hl2 executable on the left, then scroll down at the bottom until you find the hl2_singleton mutex, and close the handle to it. I dont really recommend doing that online! "
"Your answer lies with Thin Clients. Game is run off one server computer... then it's transfered to each thin client which is basically a monitor."
(I have no experience in Thin Clients at all, never heard of them that I remember)
http://superuser.com/questions/378901/two-instances-of-one-computer discusses it but doubtful about simultaneous users, more likely taking turns only.

A. These are in US DOLLAR amounts and are available at Fry's Electronics www.fryselectronics.com but this will rock everyone's world and everyone will envy your system. I chose not to list the i7 Intel CPU that was for $899.99 dollars because I figured you may not want to spend that much on just a CPU. This is only an estimated cost but this would really make your friends come over and want to play. Lol
