Computer Assistance/Setup
Ok, so the girlfriend wants her desktop and i want mine..we recently moved into a new spot and they are both under my desk. We have 1 flat panel monitor...
So what I am seeking to avoid is having two keyboards and two mice on the desk and having to plug the monitor into whichever computer we want to use at the time..thats a pain in the tooshie. Is there some sort of port solution or device where you can plug in 1 monitor, 1 keyboard and one mouse into this thingy that in turn connects to each computer and auto detects whichever pc is powered up? Hope i described that accurately. Thanks, PC |

Only thing you have to watch is how your mouse and keyboard attaches to your computers and making sure you buy the right KVM switch. If you're using USB for any of those make sure you get the right device.

I've used the "high-end" of the Belkin Omniview series and it seems to work fine. The lower end has been somewhat flakey.

Pretty cool concept; kinda like switching Windows users only with two different computers and they both do not have to be Windows. V. ^.^

My Dad uses something like what Ihmhi posted for his job, it lets him switch between a normal computer for email and all that to this other one that allows him to control all heating, air conditioning and other systems in his work.
