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

Couldn’t you use a soundproof rack? Or put it in the next room?
Even high-performance computers can be made quiet. You don’t really need a gaming PC.
With SSDs and large, slow-spinning fans, it can be quite silent. Liquid cooling should reduce the noise level to almost zero.
At my workplace, all the PCs are located in one room, and everyone accesses the virtual machines through a terminal. Each user has different monitors with full performance and resolution, but there are no PCs or noise in the office. That’s exactly what I wanted at home as well.
Yes, I will take a look at it later.
I thought there might be people here who already have a similar solution and could offer recommendations.
Apparently, I am alone here with this idea.
I don’t understand why almost everyone finds it strange to put all PCs in one room to avoid noise and have everything neatly centralized...

untergasse438 Jan 2021 11:55My two servers plus NAS are installed in a rack, which is located far from my desk. Under the desk, there is a PC with a roughly soundproofed case, and on the desk, there are three 27-inch monitors. No problem at all; the mechanical ventilation system in the house is louder. I think making a big effort about this is pointless (though everyone has to decide what makes sense for themselves), or to put it another way: it offers no benefits for home use. Children or others will most likely work on laptops anyway, which are barely or not audible at all.
Besides that: What do you personally use four PCs for in your daily work? That sounds more like a poorly thought-out setup.
