You can use a standard Windows PC, though there may not be any way to
stop more than one person accessing it at the same time. Look at VNC -
it can be used to provide a remote desktop on a *nix, Mac or Windows
client that connects to a *nix, Mac or Windows server.
Alternatively, run one or more copies of Windows in virtual machines on
a *nix system and access them remotely via VNC or ssh with X.11
forwarding.
