Computer Farming on the Cheap with VNC

Recommended Posts

Budget farming is the best way for a person to boost their output in a DC project, but even a relatively cheap farm can get expensive when you start factoring in multiple monitors, keyboards, and mice. KVM switches can help reduce the cost, but at anywhere from $100-$300 for the switch, depending on the quality and size, and $20 or better for each set of cables, even this option can begin to exact a toll on the wallet. However, assuming all of the machines on your farm are connected to a network, there is an excellent alternative that will not only give you all the functionality you need, it also has another benefit that makes it almost irresistible to the budget farmer - it's FREE! The name of the alternative is VNC.

I do both. Though haven't done Seti in a while. Had problems connecting to the server. Never used VNC, but have used the 2000 variety. Easy to use, but as mentioned in the articel, VNC works over differing platforms, remote control won't.

I know it's irrelevant, but I like them for testing. Also keeps my cpu from getting bored. Ya' know, idle hands are the devils' playground.
