Sure, I could move it into my room, somehow figure out a way to split the connections with my monitor, keyboard and mouse with my main rig etc but I rather keep the peripherals to a minimum.

Plus, it gives me an extra PC to work with, there's the novelty of working on a PC that's not actually in the same room as you are, an extra PC to work with while your main rig (with Windows 10 in my case) is busy with other things like video editing or other resource intense background applications etc.

I'm sure there's options like trans-coding, Plex and whatnot but for now I want to know just some basics before going that route. It's going to be on a wired CAT 5e connection to a wifi router that's also sharing a direct wired connection with my main rig if that's important to know.
