I have a PC tower but no monitor for it. It turns on, can get power, but I need to see what is on it. I have an idea to connect it to my laptop to play games with. Like install the games to the tower and access them via my laptop. Is this possible? AnupamLevel 21Jul 7, 20141,0182,327

What about cross-over cables? Upvote 0 AnupamLevel 21Jul 7, 20141,0182,327
There is no easy way. One thing you can do, get one USB TV Tuner card, Install it on your laptop, Connect PC tower's output to TV tuner card and and you will be able to see it on your laptop. Now do whatever you want to do on your PC Tower and use Laptop's Display. Upvote 0 ravenoskyLevel 1Jul 15, 20143830
There are a lot of different ones. Which would you recommend is best for an ASUS X53U with Windows 7 Home Premium and an AMD Radeon HD 6290 display driver? Upvote 0 AnupamLevel 21Jul 7, 20141,0182,327
I can't recommend because I havn't use any of them. Just see the Spec. Mainly you will be needing VGA to USB Tv Tuner card. Generally USB TV Tuners have AV or cable input. So be careful there. Upvote 0 S SpawnAdministratorVerified Staff member Jan 8, 201121,05347,730
It's far easier to buy a new monitor, you could probably get a cheap 24-inch 1920x1080 PC monitor, rather than messing around with a TV tuner. I'm not a PC gamer, but I would have thought a direct connection to a monitor would have a better response time. Upvote 0 AnupamLevel 21Jul 7, 20141,0182,327
Completely Agree with you. Direct monitor will always have better response time and better picture quality. Most of the TV Tuners reduces the resolution. Upvote 0 ravenoskyLevel 1Jul 15, 20143830
I plan to get a higher-end laptop in the near future, it all depends on how well things go at UPS Friday and if I get the job there. (I was recently told that ASUS only built this laptop of mine with the bare minimum needed to just barely hold Windows 7 and not much else although Win7 in the default OS they put on this). But my long term project is to turn that tower into a gaming one. I merely want to hook it up to this laptop so I can see what is on the hard drive and what I will need to work on to improve it for gaming. If I could modify a laptop the same way that I can a tower, I would. I typically despise all the wires and cables needed for a desktop and prefer the maneuverability of laptops. I wish I could somehow combine the two, but doesn't seem possible at the moment. Upvote 0 S SpawnAdministratorVerified Staff member Jan 8, 201121,05347,730

Thanks I would prefer to be able to turn my current laptop into a gaming one. I see a lot of how-to's on how to build gaming laptops, and upgrade laptops to hold games. I know I can change out the hard drive and display drivers on laptops, but can't I change out other components too, like the RAM and processor? Upvote 0 |
