2 computers to one monitor?

[demighost]

Sup guys I was wondering is there a way to have 2 computers hooked up to one crt monitor and be able to toggle between them? I have a extra monitor but I do not have the space in my room to have 2 sep comp systems hooked up. I really need ot run other comp as it will be a css ded server. I have a Samsung SyncMaster 21GLs wich is a nice 21 inch crt. But in the back i only saw one dvi thing, And alot of other inputs these kinda looked like composite? not to sure tho. Any way whatwould you suggest?

KVM switch is what you need

and i would be able to get that at a retail store, or get off newegg?

i saw one at radio shack for a few bucks, and you can get them off the 'net if need be

all you'd need is a 2-port not an 8-port which is for multiple servers

With a KVM swtich you can also use the same keyboard and mouse as well as monitor to control both computers

I remember using KVM when we had like 3 computers in our office it was awsome

yea. KVM switches do rock.

but jaredavidporter... sorry to say. buti think you might need to make that sig a bit smaller, its a bit big and theres a rule that limits how big we can make our sigs.
