Hello guys!

Me and my brother are thinking of building our own gaming PC. We are not serious gamer so we are considering low budget PC, ~$500 per person.

We are considering building a PC and install multi seat. But we need advise before doing it. Is multi seat good for gaming? will it lag or have slow responds? is it very troublesome?

What are the pro and con between 2 PC and Multi Seat?

Very complicated to configure and need powerful specs and 2x almost everything except for CPU and motherboard. Need a backup server as well. Not wise (and impossible) for low budget. :(

While the whole world is moving towards multiple systems / cpus / cores per user as a last-ditch effort to increase throughput, you think of multiple users per system lol

i think you should just get 2 pcs, multiseat isn't as easy to configure and maintain.
cpu and mobo:g3260 and h81m-hds(videopro)$160
graphics card:sapphire hd 7750(lazada)$130+3
ram:adata/kingston 4gb valueram(videopro)$31
hdd:seagate 1tb sshd(videopro)$104
psu:fsp hexa+ 450w(videopro)$58
case:headway/vios m.atx case(cashtronic)$24
total:$510
do ask around for price quotes and discount before purchase.

How does multi seat work? Virtualization to make 1 PC become 2 virtual machines?
