and since i dont trust windows to host my work os securely, and performance of games would be abysmal with the hosting roles reversed, what i really need is 2 boxes and a kvm switch!. the question now becomes, are there physical systems that turn on and off at the same time... i.e. share a psu but host different os's!

suppose i could build my own

am i looking at building a rack mounted system? heh, think i just found a project for myself.

1 psu, 1 gpu (for gaming), 1 kb/monitor, 2 hdd, 2 motherboards, 1 kvm switch, build my own rack out of wood, done! so the only extra cost really should be the 2nd motherboard and the kvm switch.

You can avoid the kvm with a cheap USB switch and software.

I was actually starting to think about how I could make a KVM due to the costs but this link looks really interesting. Just have a PC and a work laptop and switch between the two. Thank you!
