No - but it's where I want to see it. On my desk, in front of my decks.
Although - I do have a WIN XP 17" laptop that has a lovely screen. But, y'know, P4/2GB RAM

Sorry, I still don't get it. You supposedly want to have the experience of a laptop with the money to power ratio of a desktop. And I just don't see why you couldn't just use the desktop.
But hey, if it makes you happy, by all means go for it.
Yup - that's exactly what I want.
I love the ergonomy of having a laptop on an Uberstand in front of my decks. That's not really possible with the size and weight of a Desktop/Monitor/keyboard/mouse combo and the space I have available on my desk.
There MOST be a way to do it...

If you get yourself a fast ethernet hub, and your controllers are actually connected to your desktop, then RDP may work for you.
Maybe a nice gigabit connection, and have the hub right there under the desk, with the shortest cables you can possibly find that fit (to reduce chances of signal noise). You'll still have a little lag, I can't say whether it will be too much, but based on your description of the problem domain, I think this is the most obvious solution.
I reckon it will matter less than controller lag, since you most likely depend more on your ears than your eyes when tight timing is needed.

I think the key is to FIRST get BOTH machines onto a hard wired LAN. Then at least I can try RDP and other software solutions.
I'd hoped I'd get an answer as to whether going out and laying down some £'s on a desktop was cost effective - but, I'm pretty sure that if I can't do what I want to, I'll have to fork out for an expensive ass laptop. The one's I've seen that I like are >£1,000!!!
Thanks for the help guys.

Why don't you use remote desktop software?
I'm not really clear on what your use-case is?

I want a low-latency/low-lag solution for using a laptop as a dedicated input and output device for a desktop.

RDP on a wired LAN will work for you. make sure you use a network switch not hub (although I don't think you can buy hubs anymore). Screen resolution will affect performance and well as amount of colours etc but it should still be OK. What apps are you expecting to use ?
Regular RDP or VNC will introduce quite a bit of lag to the setup, What "might" work better is a thin client OS running on the laptop.
