Default Kvm?

I was wondering if anybody had a kvm switch lying around. I need it because I like having the desk space that having only one monitor provides and I want to be able to use my linux and winrig at the same time.

if nobody has one, any suggestions on good ones?

build your own! it's only what...17 connections for the monitor, 6 for the mouse, 6 for the keyboard...times 3...that's less than 90 wires to solder together! Come on, you know you want to

I bought a cheap, no-name kvm off eBay (like this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...category=45341) ... it does the job fine, though I'm not exactly pushing it with my lame graphics cards

Belkin makes really good KVM's - especially their SOHO series...I use them for my servers sometimes.

Thanks. It needs to be able to take the resolutions and such I use, but as long as it's not crap I shouldn't have any major problems......

as for making my own, don't think I wouldn't try if it wasn't for the fact that I'd have 90 switches to flip whenever I wanted to see how my linux box is doing.

EDIT: grr.... all of the KVMs are USB or PS/2... I have a PS/2 keyboard and a usb mouse and the usb mouse does not like adapters.
