More proof I have too much time (and/or old PC equipment) on my hands :D :

I recently came across one of these (not the exact model; the one I have only has 2 ports and seems somewhat older). I was considering trying to convert it to a USB KVM (KB/monitor/mouse on I/O and two USB ports). The switching mechanism seems fairly simple; would "regular" KVM innards fit in this (it's about 4" x 6")?
 
I guess you could try it- I use a KVM that uses USB- works great- $35.00.
 
Why not just do it yourself? Like, make pins 1-4 be USB port 1, pins 5-8 USB port 2...

But anyways, I have a PS/2 Belkin KMV switch... It's considerably smaller than a CD; about the palm of my hand.
