Again,

Pardon my ignorance about the subject. I simply thought the multi ports was for different ways to hook up a computer depending on the card you have. I never even contemplated that you could hook several puters up at the same time.

Definitely part of their intended use. I use to have one of my monitors hooked up to my AVR, my computer and the x360 at the same time and switched between all 3.

Just do a remote desktop connection. That is how I am running my server instead of using multiple keyboard/mice/monitors ...Just a suggestion.
