Belkin Soho-Series KVM 4-Port PS/2 $89

[Patternman]

This is a nice deal on this Belkin F1DS104P Soho-Series KVM 4-Port PS/2
$89.00 from Harmony Computers. I believe
shipping is $9. This kvm also includes mic & speaker switching!

nice deal!
Tom's reviewed the 2-port counterpart (which also supports usb). pretty positive remarks, except in regards to price. the 2-port that they reviewd was $150, so it seems to me that a 4 port for $89 is a steal, even though USB isn't included. mic and speaker switching on the 4port is pretty cool too.

Good deal. Here is the same item at buy.com.

Now if we could only find a good deal on an 8-port KVM!

Sigh.


Yet another thing I really want and could use but don't want to spend the money on. :frown:

Model numbers ending in T have the USB and P is without usb. Cables not included.


Dell Home sells the belkin 4 port no USB (this one = F1DS104P) for 116.95 Use a stackable $10 off $100 from FW's site, get 10% off in the dell home peripheral store automatically, won't be free shipping for this one... maybe buy cables and bump to free shipping.
AND they also have the one with USB (4 port one = F1DS104T) for $131.95. Using the same scheme and free shipping would cost $108.76.

I have this particular unit w/o the USB and love it. Currently I run this unit with 2 PCs. My only complaint would be the cover used that goes over the top of the connecting wires. The wires get scrunched up fairly tight when you close the hood. All in all though, this little guy has definitely cut down my wires and items on my desk. Definitely recommended.

Anyone know where to get any god but cheap cables? $20 a set seems like a lot

thanks

Spend the extra money on the cables, you won't regret it

i second that ... wanted to save money on cables and so was stupid enough to get this cable from Dell
Dell Item, Manufacturer Part# A3X982-10-KIT, Belkin.com Linky
... video signal was terrible, do not get this type cable!!!

... anyway got the golden series and now quality is much better... i recommend those!

Beware!! F1DS104P is for two port not four. So this is not so hot after all. They misrepresent item at Harmoney.

Also, for cables you can get the junk at Belkins site when you purchase the special. But I'd go for the 20-30 range.

What are you talking about? 102 = 2 port models... 104 = 4 port models afaik
