Looking for a good inexpensive component switch

[777php]

I'm setting up my PJ and while my receiver has 2 component inputs, I have 3 units that require component output, with most likely 2 more to come this year (PS3 and Xbox 360).

I want a decent component switcher so I can just have my receiver set on one component input at all times and rely on the switch to switch devices.

Inexpensive is anything under $100.

With all the HTPC/gamers here I'm sure one of you is using a component swith, do you guys have any that you would recommend, are currently using? Thanks.

I just use a standard RadioShack A/V switch.

R->R
G->Y
B->W

Works just fine.

Mad Catz makes one for like 20 bucks

really? I didn't know you could use regular composite AV switches.

While it will work it's not ideal - Component video uses 3 75 ohm coax connections (identical to the yellow composite video).

I don't run HD signals through it. Just standard 480i for my DVD player, PS2 and Gamecube.

A buddy of mine has this for his XBox, DVD player and HD digital cable box and it works well for him.

i use this: kinda expensive but works like a charm, no need for remote. autosensing to whatever channel is on or the last channel that received a signal. of course if you need to do override you can do it physically on the machine

4 inputs one output. supports component, LR stereo, coax and TOS optical.

I saw that when I did a google search, however it is a bit over my budget. I just want something cheap and that works, nothing too fancy.
