2-monitors 2-PCs swaping between monitors

External Since: Nov 01, 2003 Posts: 1

Ive got 2 PCs, and 2 monitors. My limited space makes one monitor MUCH
more comfortable to use, but I need both PCs to have displays at all
times. I sometimes need my database computer to be 'front and center'
with the tesing computer running off to one side, but occasionally I
need to work with my testing computer for long streaches, entering data
into the database only infrequently, making it imperative that for those
times the testing computer is 'front and center.

I need something that will let me choose which monitor displays which
computer. Right now I have to physically swap out the cables, and all
the switch boxes are made to make ONE monitor work with multiple
PCs....but not the simple task of just swapping the signals between 2
PCs.

Anyone seen one of these beasts......that doesnt cost $500?

One of my two monitors has dual input. So I have two computers going to it,
while my other computer goes to both of my monitors. To switch which input is
being used, I touch a button in front of my monitor.
