Is this possible?

[gadgetgirl85]

I dont know if this is possible but I have two PC hard drives (one which is on its way out) and I also have an old 15" screen...is it possible somehow to link the mac mini and the PC together someway? Like be able to use them concurrently? Am I dreaming or is it possible some way

You mean... have them both hooked up to the same monitor? And accessing the same hard drives?

For the monitor, you can use a KVM switch, and you can use a network hard drive enclosure to have both computers access the same drive (at least that's how I've done it in the past).

So you have two(three) computers and one screen?

You can get a KVM (Keyboard, video, mouse) switch like this.

Ah so THAT's what that means. Been bugging me for the longest time.

Is a KVM switch expensive? I guess I'm just thinking of a way to use my two hard drives concurrently if possible before getting rid of my old PC if its possible.

Looks like its a bit out of my price range Cant run the two together anyway

Going to do it a second way: I'll just plug the PC in and use my old 15" and run them on the same desk think thats the best option
