You can grab a 'cheap' KVM from ebay, and a dumpster box to have a 'test system' on your desk.
It may not be graceful, but if you can have the box in the workshop running, you can use VNC on your desktop inside to view what is going on there. I wouldn't really CUT anything with it that way, but for remote use, it works. Personally I like to have a hardwired link, but in my place currently I am using WIFI. For a box that you don't want to deal with wifi on but have an ethernet port, I suggest getting one or two 'wifi external game adapters'. I just purchased another (I have one belkin, one USRobotics, and a 'new to me' linksys' in my house/shop) - the linksys - from http://3btech.net/li80wigaadbr.html for $40 The KVM brand I like is a 4 port zonet ... right now they have one I really like http://3btech.net/fopomidekvmk.html for about $25 including cables. It has a place for a power supply, but it is not needed. I think it is refurbed too. For about $65 plus shipping if you already have wifi at home you would be in good shape. If no wifi currently you might want 2 of the game adapters. Still it probably isn't as cheap as running an ethernet cable. I hope some of this helps in getting your infrastructure going so you can have fun even if the shop is cold. BRIAN GLACKIN wrote: > Seb, > > THanks for the link.
