I'm in the market for a new PC for when I buy Traktor (Scratch). I had the idea of buying a "Cube" style desktop machine - this would fit PERFECTLY in one of the recesses in my expedit DJ Desk. You get MUCH more power for your money buying a desktop vs. a laptop. (Portability is not an issue for me - I only play at home!)

Then I wondered where I'd put the screen and keyboard for the desktop.
Then I realised I'd have to get rid of my Uberstand, and would have nowhere for my auidio interface to live.
Then I thought - "I wonder if I could use my existing (old) laptop, as a keyboard/touchpad and display for the desktop?" That way, my set-up won't change - but i'd get the power of the desktop machine...
So - can I? Does anyone know how to do it? I imagine it can be done with remote desktop - but neither of the machines (lappy or desktop) will be connected to the internet (both will be tweked for audio).
So basically, I want the laptop to behave ONLY as a keyboard and a monitor. The desktop would do all of the processing, and the poorer specs of teh laptop would not affect the desktops performance.
