Is this possible...?

Can you hook up two computers to one monitor?

I have two separate computers that will be both be running at the same time. However, it'd be nice if I could just hook them up to the same monitor so I don't have to take up space with two monitors.

For example, is there some type of box or switch I can hook the video cards into, then plug the monitor into it as well, and just switch between A and B?

Oooh nice. Thanks. Any brand/model recommendations, or are they pretty much all the same?

Linksys makes very nice ones, but they're sort of pricey. You can't really go wrong with Belkin, but don't even bother looking at their cables in any retail store; they have close to a %90 markup from wholesale in most :disgust:
