Hello everyone 🙂
I am new to the forum and I hope this is the right place to ask.
I am currently planning a new build. I have now reached the point where I am thinking about the locations for my computers. I work with computers a lot, both privately and professionally.
I am planning an office where I will often work from home. Ideally, I wouldn’t have my computers right next to me, but rather in a separate room. It would also be great if not every child needed their own PC, but this could be managed centrally as well.
I have thought of two options:
1. PCs located in a central room, with signals distributed to other rooms via HDMI or USB cables inside the walls. I’m not sure if this is even possible?
2. PCs in a central room and terminals in the individual rooms. Here I wonder which terminals would be suitable (up to 4 monitors) and whether special software is needed. I am familiar with Citrix professionally, but I don’t know how expensive it could be for private users.
What options do I have or do you use?
Thanks in advance for your advice!
Regards,
Chris

You don’t need to question the point of this. 😀 I’m just tech-savvy and will never manage with only a laptop. For my work, I need as many large monitors as possible 😉
I’m planning to have 4 PCs and 4 TVs, and I’d like to keep everything as centralized as possible, with only monitors and input devices set up where needed. 😉
Okay, I figured it would come down to terminals or NUCs.
This way, I already won’t have any noise in the rooms, which is very important to me.
Which options would be suitable if I want 4 monitors? Do I need special software for this, or is Windows Remote enough? (It should support different monitors with different resolutions)no sorry ^^ you want to build a private data center^^
it’s really pointless, especially since all companies are moving to the cloud

it’s really nonsense, especially since all companies are moving to the cloud It doesn’t matter whether you consider it reasonable or not.
I don’t want my data in the cloud, nor my PC in the room where I am.
And I am looking for a solution for that.

@Bookstar Can’t you imagine that some people can’t manage with the performance of a NUC or laptop and still don’t want a noisy machine next to them?What level of performance do you need? What requirements must the computer meet? Chris90 schrieb:

Your thread and plans will remain ridiculous until you clarify what kind of rocket science you are actually planning. I have more the impression that you are just a big child who is currently off track.
