Create Up To 7 Users From 1 PC. Attention savvy professionals, tech-forward teachers, and Budget minded household heads! It's a brand new technology that promises to make separate computers for separate people a thing of the past. Ncomputing X300 3 User expansion kit allows three users to access the same CPU, memory, and hard drive(s). You can expand your existing machine to multiple users, simultaneously.
This kit costs much less than a single new computer, let alone three. You get three (3) expansion terminal boxes and a PCI Card that installs in your PC. Each expansion terminal provides a direct connection for a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers-directly to your computer! Each host computer can use up to two (2) PCI Cards, you have the option of making one Computer Tower up to seven users.
Just hook up a monitor, keyboard, and mouse to any one of the expansion terminals, and you've just cloned your own original computer!

Great, one more thing to make windows even more unstable. Now I can increase the odds of my computer crashing by 7 fold!!

Great, just when computers get dirt cheap! A total waste of money. Just buy 5 puters. Dell can't give em away.

Many offices are working with shared drives anyway. This could save the thousands of dollars. If you have been to Dr Herolds office each one of his treatment rooms are networked using a shared drive with the the main computer at the receptionist desk. You would want a beefed up'd system. Possibly a duo core processor with 2 gig of ram and a very large hard drive.

Not really "New Technology"Just an updated version of "dumb terminals that was used back in the 70's and 80's" Think along the lines of IBM AS / 400
There also has been a blade version (1u rack-mount) thats been in use since a few years back.
A down side of this tech is that if the host dies or crashes you now have how many people who attach to this being down..
