    KVM Advice

    Hi, I'm currently running 2 machines, one W7, one Server 2008, through one screen/keyboard/mouse. I'd like to get a KVM that will do USB (m & K) and DVI. Anyone know of any good, inexpensive ones? I've seen a few Atem and Belkin ones but they seem a bit expensive for what I want...

    Re: KVM Advice

    Cheap ones often have annoying quirks which really annoy you after a while - i.e. accidental switching, beeping, silly keyboard shortcuts, freezing after being powered on for a while, poor power supplies, inability to work properly with PS2 to USB converters etc.

    I use a 2-port Aten CS1782 and will probably eventually get the 4-port version. The 2-port works perfectly for me.
