What's this called and where can I buy it? The Keyboard/Mouse/Monitor switch for 2 PCs..

My friend told me that he saw TechTV was using one of these...
I have two systems... but I only have one monitor.. and i have no space for another.. so this device might be helpful...

I believe what you're looking for is a KVM switch. Compusa sells em.

Shop around though. You know how CompUSA's prices can be compared to online. Although right now they seem to have some nice prices on IOGear stuff, with rebates as well.

There are a lot of brands. There've been threads here about "which is better" and whatnot. IOGear makes nice looking compact-size KVMs, but I've never used them. I liked my Belkin Omnicube when I've needed to use it. Also make sure you get one that will support your mouse and keyboard, as some of the "extra features" may not work, especially non-Microsoft brands (USB stuff should work perfectly well though).

KVM stands for Keyboard/Video/Mouse by the way.

some kvms also have picture-in-picture functions.., such as the Belkin Soho series I think
