I use a "KVM" switch ...   info @

I use  the " OMNI Cube " model and it works GREAT ....  info @

I used to use a cheap ( 30.00 ) manual KVM switch box .... but you couldn't
do a live boot of your computer unless it was switched to that specific
machine ... the Omni cube allows you to reboot a machine while using one of
the other ports ... also with a manual switch you would lose the mouse
occasionally ....  the Omni Cube has an "emulation" mode so that your PS2
mouse and keyboard don't know if your switched to a different computer ....
(hope that statement is as CLEAR as mud .......  )
