If you decide to use a KVM, I've been using one for about 2 years and it really works great. I have about 6 of them left that I'm not going to need. $20 each plus some help on the shipping but you will need to find the cables. Needs no outboard power. My KVM is for 2 computers sharing 1 each Keyboard, Video monitor, Mouse. Made by Cybex SwitchView.
