Need advice on a KVM Switch

[thecoffeeguy]

Greetings everyone. Well, im in the markget for a KVM switch.
This is what I need:

A 4 port KVM switch. Video, PS/2 mouse, PS/2 Keyboard.

Nothing fancy, but relatively nice.

Anyone have recommendations on a brand? Linksys? Belkin? D-Link? IonGear?

Also, anyone know of a good retailer that has good prices for these types of KVM switches?

Basically, im going to be hooking up 2 Linux boxes, 1 *nix box and 1 Win2k box.

Thanks for everyones input. I look forward to your replies.

I have a Belkin SOHO 4 port. It works great, no noticable video degradation, fast switching, and, as a side benefit, it'll switch microphone and audio out as well. They have cable sets available with all of the necesary lines (KVM, Mic, Audio).

I got mine at CDW, I'm not too price sensitive, but even if I were, I believe their prices are in the ballpark (plus they're a 15 minute drive away so I can pick it up and save the shipping). They have most stuff in-stock and are extremely customer-oriented.

FWIW

I bought the Advocent (Cybex) 4 port switchview for $77.00 and then bought the cables separately at www.provantage.com. I really like it, its worked well.
