Maybe I can make a switch system for that also? I think that would be retarded though! I am harrassing NComputing to death, thankfully they have good customer service, lol.... Maybe there is a way to use them some how.

There are several usb switches available online so I wouldn't worry too much about that. Such as this. That's just an example googling will lead to a solution. I'm sure.

I look forward to your finished project.

I dont think it will because a KVM only does PS2 mouse and keyboard.... but f#^k!ng wait, your onto something. Maybe I can use an adapter to convert them from USB to PS2 also. I know the software that I use for touchscreen asks if I am using PS2 based screens...... OMFG you guys are on a roll puting ideas in my head.

Why do you need 5 when 1 creates up to 30 pcs. Maybe I missed the point on the need for 5.

The way the devices work is you have a host computer (the CarPC) then for the number you want to split it, you need a control box for each. So if I want 6 different desktops, that requires 5 different units.

I didn't realize every computer needed to have a box. So at 150 a box that adds up quick but an awesome device.

its actually worse for me because I want the L230, which is $220.00 each. Maybe I can get them to lower the price if I tell them what its for and the fact its going to be for a show car.

EDIT: reconsidering the L230, just to have a mic port and a usb port is $70.00 more. It also has 24bit graphics vs have no idea graphics, lol.

Well actually it looks like only the L series is bought individually for like 220. Looking on tigerdirect the X series offers 3 users for about 250. I suppose though this option lets you keep your pc so that's good.

Yes, I went threw a mission to get this MoBo, and it does everyhting I want. If I upgrade my MoBo, it means I have to install the PC somewhere else. I think the reason it is more expensive is because it has built in DRAM from graphics and what not. Maybe the X series doesnt have that? Plus the USB and mic port are cool, even though I think the USB port can only use flash drives and or is limited on what can be connected to it.

Ok I'm back to the drawing board on which unit to get. The L130 has all standard features, minus a USB port (which is limited) and minus the mic port. Another thing that is missing is 24bit video support. I dont know if thats a good thing or bad thing. Does that mean that the L130 will have $h!++y video playback?

EDIT: Never mind, lol, I have to get the L230. The L130 displays 16bit color which looks really bad. To do a test go to your graphics card options and change it to medium instead of high. It looks so bad. I just wont use the USB and Mic port.
