connecting a cpu, WITHOUT a monitor, to a laptop.

Hi Guys,
I have a desktop cpu that doesnt have a monitor that works. I want to connect it to my laptop and use the display from my laptop somehow. Is there a way?

Thanks in advance

you could run WinVNC (google it)

run the server software on the desktop and the client on the laptop

If you're using WinXP on your laptop, you could Remote Desktop the desktop computer. If the desktop isn't running XP, you can download the client to install on the desktop and you'll be able to pull it up.

Or you could buy a KVM for 20-30 dollars and do it that way, but you'd have to set your laptop up to use another monitor so it'd switch. Probably a bad idea.
