I would like to pirate my home monitor for my office. This would save me some space in my very small home. I have a laptop, but I'd also like to have access to my deskktop cpu (without its large, accompanying monitor). Is there a way to set it up so that I can view both the laptop cpu and the desktop cpu on my laptop monitor? Thanks in advance.

Without knowing the specifics of your laptop (brand, video card etc..) I would think that your video card would need to have ViVo (video in, video out). This setup should allow you to plug a video input device into the laptops video card, and enable it to act as the monitor for the desktop.

you might want to try a KVM switch

If you've got XP Pro why not try remote destop otherwise you could try VNC.
