and since i dont trust windows to host my work os securely, and performance of games would be abysmal with the hosting roles reversed, what i really need is 2 boxes and a kvm switch!. the question now becomes, are there physical systems that turn on and off at the same time... i.e. share a psu but host different os's!

suppose i could build my own

am i looking at building a rack mounted system? heh, think i just found a project for myself.

1 psu, 1 gpu (for gaming), 1 kb/monitor, 2 hdd, 2 motherboards, 1 kvm switch, build my own rack out of wood, done! so the only extra cost really should be the 2nd motherboard and the kvm switch.
