If you are going from scratch, I would recommend that your computer be built
in a rack mount casing. you can then mount it with your other music gear to
save space. I also agree with the KVM switch. I have a system like this. My
rack computer shares a rolling travel case with several other rack pieces.
On top of the rolling case is a place for a medium size mixer that can also
tilt at an angle. This rack only takes 2 square feet of floor space and is
about table height. You have lots of options if you are starting fresh. Good
luck!
Grant

I have a rig like that which controls three computers currently, including
one laptop, and could run four.

It allows you to plug the same monitor, keyboard and mouse 2 PC's at the
same time. You can then switch between systems with a keyboard command.
