Sci, I didn't look at the links you gave but the answer is a KVM Switch. It stands for Keyboard, Video, Mouse. It hooks several devices into one place so you only need one keyboard, video, mouse to run several PC's. Make sure not to get the cheaper one with serial mouse ports. For you, I'd say to get a 4 port KVM. The cables are special and extra. I'd buy this from EBAY myself. Good luck.<br><br>Hermskii <p></p><i></i>

Sci:<br><br>From your post, I take it you have 2 mice, 2 keyboards and one monitor. If this is true, why don't you just leave the mice and keyboards hooked up to their respective computers, and use the switch only for the monitor. I looked into this a while back, as I have two computers down here in my studio, and this seemed the easiest way. Of course, I was just going to buy a monitor switch only (not the KVM). They make these also...as it turned out, the cost of the switch, plus a new monitor cable cost almost as much as buying a used monitor, so I went with the used monitor. Hope this helps...<br><br>Bo <p></p><i></i>
