What are you talking about, these pieces have already been put together multiple times.

This guy isn't running it from AWS though, like I said. He's running it from a "server" that's right in front of him. By the way, have you ever tried RDCing a remote Windows machine and done some trivial tasks in the GUI?

I actually have an AWS machine that runs Steam + VPN and I can stream games to my home laptop, it works really well.

I also have non-steam games that I've added like Star Wars: The Old republic, Starcraft II and Diablo III and they all work well using the same system.

The only glitch I've noticed is that if steam starts before the VPN, I have to RDC in and restart steam so it picks up the VPN network. (If anyone has any idea how to fix this I would be very grateful)

what AWS instance do you use?

[bshep]

I'm using one of OTOY/ORBX (ami-8ff2b9e6) instances ( I tried setting up my own, but never got the graphics to work right )

I used the old version of this guide, the new one may work better but I already have a working instance:

I have, and the only real issues with latency/bandwidth were with over satellite connections.

Yeah, I regularly log in to machines in France and Canada and it works fine (on a 50mbps connection, at least).

These are not running in the browser, though. And previous Remote Desktop solutions that are viewable in a browser can't handle 60fps (let alone anything >10fps for full motion).
