i have a laptop and iam wanting to purchase a desktop could i simply buy the tower and plug it into my laptop and use it through the screen on my laptop???
if so how would i do this and is there any software you can reccomed?

ive looked at maxivista and it says u cant as u would not be able to see the boot process or the login screen, however if i borrowed a monitor to install the software and set it up so when the pc was turned on it went stright to the desktop with no login and run the programm on start up would it work then display the screen on my laptop screen?

if anyone can help me with this i would really apreciate it
thanks alot michael.
