I have 2 pcs at home side by side. One is an old banger that I use as a mini file server for the net and IRC and the other is a brand new gaming PC.

What I'd like to do is effectively set the old one up as a server where all I need to do is control it from the new machine but effectively seeing a desktop when I access the old PC. This would mean I wouldn't have to have the old PC setup with a monitor. They're setup on a LAN and can already share files. One PC runs Vista, the other is XP home.

I'd like to know what software you'd suggest to be able to do this?
 
UltraVNC or similar sounds perfect for this. Setup as a VNC server (with service) on your little server machine.

Then install and run as Viewer on your main machine.

Its pretty simple.
