I looked at this product long and hard with exactly
the same line of thinking. I think it would work
to put the PC in the game cabinet, and then extend
via this gadget to another workstation for work
purposes only. Problem is it doesn't supply a way
to split soundcard output, game port, etc... so it
wouldn't work to give you two game machines.

Still an interesting product!

: I've just had this idea:

: I once read about this gadget that plugs into your PC (PCI slot I think) which has a length of cable and then a box which allows the connection of a second keyboard, mouse, monitor etc.

: It allows your PC to run as two! would be great for arcade cabinets. Imagine your master cabinet having the ususal (CPU, RAM, hard-drive, monitor etc) then a cable running to your slave cabinet which only has a monitor, keyboard interface etc. No need for second processor, RAM, hard-driv
