Anyway to make a system that could have four people use it at once? 4 monitors, 4 keyboards and mouses. But one Quadcore CPU, Maybe two GPUs, and like 4GBs of ram. I was thinking of maybe some linux OS because of how the desktop managing works.(KDE anyway) But idk.
 
No.

None that I have ever heard of, and I can think of no way to possibly make something like that work.
 
Actually jetway used to make a board that supported that under one of the windows OS's. I can't remember what the name was but I think it was called somethingTwin. It was 2 users, not 4.

This is whatt I was thinking of.

I believe this capability has listed under unix for a _long_ time.
 
Having four people physically use the machine is just plain and simple a bad idea. What you want is a Terminal Server. It's been done under both Windows and Linux, although I'm a much bigger fan of the LTSP project myself, having administered a couple of 20-40 computer LTSP labs. We had an entire computer lab of kids using Firefox and OpenOffice powered by a single dual Opteron 240/2GB RAM machine.
