I’ve decided to upgrade my server w/ my desktop hardware and use my laptop as my primary computer. (my desktop and server an PC-based).
I have a ps/2 kbd, a USB mouse (w/ ps/2 adapter) plugged into a KVM for the 2 pc’s. I have 2 monitors too (20.1″ ws lcd, and a 17″ crt – the crt is the one plugged into the kvm). My KVM is ps/2 not usb.
So… because my primary desktop died, I was thinking that I would upg. my server, and then use my laptop as my primary. Having said that, I want to do dual monitor with it, and use a regular kbd/mou and my tablet (plugged directly into the desktop).
I have to pickup the following:
usb kbd
usb kvm
stand for the laptop/cooling pad
Also, are there any problems with having the laptop on nearly all the time plugged into the wall?
Anyone have thoughts about my setup? what I should or shouldn’t do?
