Hey there! Your parents' old PC is definitely a challenge, but I saw a video where Linus showed how to run two users on just one CPU. That sounds like a cool project for them—maybe they could try it with simple games or light tasks. Since they mainly use it for basic stuff like bookkeeping or word documents, you’re right that gaming might not be the best fit. Your specs are solid: an i7 8086k, 16GB RAM, and a decent GPU. If they upgrade later, it’ll be easier. Just focus on lightweight games or simple applications to get started.

You’ll need a different GPU and set up UnRaid along with the other instructions from the video. It might be simpler to use a basic PC for your parents. A decent office setup can be bought for around 300 USD, but you only need a keyboard, mouse, and monitor—items you’d already have if you had two gamers plus an extra CPU. These additional parts shouldn’t add much more than 100-200 USD.

They already have a good setup, so it's best to let them continue?

There are various options available for a budget of 300 USD. You might want to consider these features: - Four modern cores - Eight gigabytes of RAM + - Dual channel memory! - Solid-state drive If it doesn’t meet these requirements, performance could suffer. Do you really understand what makes something slow?

They’re running on a Celeron with two cores, 8GB RAM, and onboard graphics isn’t terrible. However, I was expecting two users on one machine to be more demanding.

Yes, they often pair Unraid with a low-quality graphics card for a NAS setup.

They often use it to mark something as recognized when it starts up. Sorry, I might back out of my idea.

One GPU assigned to player 1, one GPU for player 2, and integrated graphics for Unraid setup.
