That's pretty cool - but it seems like a PS3 without the PS3 doesn't it?

Are you running the TV off a laptop or desktop? I'm still slightly confused as to what you are trying to accomplish. Why do you need 2 screens in the first place with a 60" TV??

I have a 52" and it is the only monitor hooked up to my PC via VGA. I play all sorts of old school games on it on the big screen which rocks!

Desktop. I'm basically trying to create a dual purpose HTPC - work station/entertainment station. Drafting is more comfortable with the monitor from my desk chair - I still bring work home sometimes and I also have my own random projects and writings. You'd have to see my layout to totally understand why it works so well. It's a long-time bachelor thing... you wouldn't understand.

Had to work late tonight so never got to mess with the 'puter.

I see. I guess I was just thinking about it from my perspective. I have a desktop with dual monitors for "regular" computer stuff. Then I have a spare low profile desktop in my entertainment center that is hooked up to my TV. I have a wireless keyboard with an integrated mouse. I use the computer hooked to the TV to spin MP3s through my stereo system, surf the net from the couch, watch videos on the big screen and play old school games.

It sounds like your main computer and your TV computer are one in the same.
