Let me offer you an additional solution. I use a Belkin KVM Switch. This is a simple box that allows you to hook multiple computers up to a single Monitor, Keyboard and Mouse. It's a simple little box that will switch between the PC's without having to need two monitors, keyboards and mice. I use a two switch version of this, but have seen them for sale with 4 switches. They may come with more, but I have not personally seen one. I have also knowticed that the same switches are now sold with sound switches too so your able to hear only the PC you are currently looking at. It's as easy as a press of a button. The only disadvantage of this that you still can only see one screen at a time and interact with the one PC at a time, but you would have to be very talented to be using two PC's at the same time IMHO 
Hope this helps.

I have something similar to that, one of my computers shares a monitor however the monitor had a build in secondary port, quite handy for the space contraints actually. If you can wing it and the monitor toggle isn't too annoying...its a great solution. |
