                            a nightmare, first they have to like your hardware, and
                            you have to match ps2 or usb to the type of switch.
                            There are several good economical ones available
                            for ps2 keyboards and mice. Dvi and usb make it too
                            expensive and complicated. Some support better monitors, other
                            don't.

                                Maybe im paranoid, but is it possible to have a switch do somthing to both systems, say like you think your switched over, and your deleting some temp files, and at the same time its doing somthing you dont know about too the other system like reformating your hard drive lol?

                                    That system sounds a million chewy....

                                    However down to the mortal world and this galaxy.....

                                    I would stick with what you got for another six months.... When it comes to this PC stuff it is really the case of _Good things come to those who wait...
