Unity with an external PC(rambling)

This is just a weird idea that pooped into my head.

I know VNC allows you to connect to other computers over a network. I've used it to connect to an extra PC I had a while back. I wasn't satisfied with the results so I just stuck to VMware/Crossover if I really needed to run something Windows-exclusive.
(NOTE: I have not needed to do that for ages now. It's wonderful.)

Still, has there been any work on physically connecting a PC to a Mac and allowing for a similar interface in VMware? Can't really transfer files or go into Unity with VNC. ... Unity in particular. This would eliminate the whole performance reduction thing as the Windows side would be on another computer entirely.

Has there been any work on achieving such a thing? I do realize it's impractical, as it's a whole lot more expensive than simply two OSes on one machine, not to mention space-taking. But hey, an iMac/PC combo would be no more space taking than a regular setup.

Am I insane?
