I have an office with a perfect setup for a tower, but I want to be able to use it from the living room. Is it feasible to have a local network tower to act as a compute bank for games and graphics and a local low-end laptop as an interface?

I'm looking at a budget of like 2500 USD for the whole setup, I'm not looking for a supercomputer, but something that won't blow up when I'm playing cyberpunk either.

Are there good guides for this?

I'm currently on a gaming laptop and have an old disassembled tower from about 10 years ago. Gaming laptop is too loud, clunky, and is breaking down a bit (about 4 years old). Looking to do a full replace but will recycle where it makes sense.
