Im in the same boat. kids laptop, my work laptop, my wife's work laptop, my desktop. We have a Wii and Xbox360 in different rooms for streaming Netflix and web browsing. I guess my router is taking beating!

Remote desktop.
The sun has fallen down
And the billboards are all leering
And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles.
remote desktop requires you to have a computer to connect to a computer. I want one computer, out in the garage and then just have monitors/tvs/keyboards/mice scattered around the house.
Collectively, I've got about 18GB of RAM, 5 processors, 5 video cards... just scattered around in various computers. And rarely are all the computers being used at the same time.
I shouldn't require a computer to watch downloaded movies on my TV in the living room. I just need a video cable connected to the main PC. (and ya, 33ft is a bitch)
A single, home computer that is accessible everywhere. Trust me, one day it'll be the norm.
One computer.
It has multiple fiber-optic transport cards that handle keyboard/video/mouse.
The fiber is run to every room.
At the fiber jack in the room, you plug in a KVM dongle.
You can then set up TV's or monitors where ever you want and do full, shared computing.
Use wireless keyboard/mouse to get to the KVM dongle on the wall jack.
Each user is allocated his own processor QoS so that one person can't hog all of the resources.
You should get another PC to control the others, and buy a backup to that one in case its fails.
Ya... would want to balance load as well... one file server, maybe a mail server, and a game server... oh, and a torrent server as well. I'd want a hot fail-over for full redundancy. I'd want off-site backup so I'd need some cloud computing as well.
We here at BOFA can assist you with all that and charge you a fee...
