I am not sure that it can be done?

Two monitors can be hooked if you have Dual Head Video Card.

Two Mice can be attached, one to the PS/2 port and one to the serial or USB, (but I am not sure that they can work independently each one controlling it own task).

I doubt that two Keyboards can work on the same computer (but I learned to be surprised in this business).

You will need very fast CPU, and huge memory.

You better off getting a second inexpensive computer and hook the two computers as a network.
