If both computers have network cards you can obtain an ethernet cable in
which the leads have been soldered so that two computers can communicate
directly without a network switch in between.
There are also several proprietary USB only solutions.

Better plan on buying an OS and installing it on the bits & pieces and then
networking it.

(Besides, if you could you might suddenly get a message saying, "We control
all you bases.")

An Ad Hoc Network can be done between 2 computers using a "Crossover" Cat5
Ethernet Cable.

And also, set up your file sharing on both computers.

Ya, your right. networking is the better way to go.
Besides then the kid can play her games on the bits & pieces (I like that!)
Its pretty bad when you have to fight with ten year old to get on your pc..

Especially when the ten-year-old is one who knows how to use it. :P
