Hi all,


I'm looking to have my computer in the garage for storage and with a NAS configuration connected to it, but I'm to have the screen, keyboard, mouse and USB's in my room with my gaming computer.
 
Just put your computer in the garage and power it on. Connect it to the internet and then just access it over RDP (either with Windows or a third party program like TeamViewer).
 
What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Is there a reason you need this in the garage? If you want the computer stored someplace else from where you will be accessing it, just pre-configure it, get it on the network, and use remote monitoring software / RDC to access it.
 
I'm trying to get it out of my room but i want be able to have all of the features like usb and other stuff without running it on my main computer
 
What are you running on it for NAS?

Usually you'd 'remote in' to those using a web browser or SSH command-line session and don't need to do ridiculous things like swap keyboard devices and similar.

If you move the computer, you can't have remote access to the physical connections, you can just have remote access into the GUI/CLI.

Sounds like you're talking about a port duplicator or dock, which is for laptops that uses a special connection on the bottom or back to give you additional ports. It's not useful in your case.
 
It's like a streaming device that your computer links to through your WiFi and you connect your screen and laptop through it so you dont have to have the computer in that position you have a box that looks like a barebones computer but all of the computing power is done through your computer and displayed on your screen through the 'box'

I have no idea what you're talking about, can you link this item that you're talking about? Almost sounds like a thin client and running terminal services or you over overthinking someone talking about remote desktop software.
