Default Wanted Monitor Switch to switch between 3 PCs recommend any ?


I have a Main PC, Big Tower on my Left and a Hewlet Packard Pavillion,
flat destop pc, which my monitor is on, this is my Classic old games
machine and internet backup usage pc, this one don't work at this time
but fixing it up.

Also i want another more powerfull one, where i'am putting it i don't
know.

Anyway,when one @&&@&@ up i want a switch to switch the monitor to the
one that works so i can use that one easy.

So can you reccomend any monitor switches thanks, beats buying 3
monitors when i don't need them.

Save some space as well.


Thanks.

I would recomend getting a KVM switch, it lets you share Keyboard Video and
Mouse. Belkin makes a nice one with 4 ports that also shares sound

I use pcs so i expect that though.

Thanks.

KVM devices are common and have been around a long time in computer
rooms. Most servers don't need a keyboard, mouse, or monitor very often.
So, might as well share one for all those. KVMs are simple and dead
reliable.
