    Posted: 30 Sep 2010 at 12:42pm
My new computer from DS is supposed to be delivered today and I just realized that since I am not getting rid of my old computer it would be good to get a KVM switch so I could share the monitor and keyboard. I was looking at Best Buy and they only have a couple available, on is about $45 on sale. Does anyone here have any Rec's on a good affordable switch?
 
Thanks so much in advance...

I have to use both a KVM switch for the Keyboard and mouse, and a HDMI switch for the monitors. I had to go through a couple of different brands before I found a set that worked. These things can be flaky especially with the HDMI handshaking.

Maybe I should just have both plugs next to each other and switch them myself as I go....Especially since I will be using just one computer at a time. But it sucks. I currently do not think I use a HDMI with my old one, I think it is VGA. But I might with my new one.
