KVM switches anyone? - GoFuckYourself.com

arial · 11-25-2003, 11:05 PM

I'm about to build a new PC so I can have one for work and one for fun (games, movies, ect...) I want to run it from a KVM switch so I can just switch from PC to PC without having to switch chairs and setup a new PC with another monitor, keyboard, and all that mess. I was looking at this KVM switch http://www.bootroms.com/catalog/prod...roducts_id/217 anyone know of any ones that may be better?

I bought KVM switches from Belkin, love them, had them 2-3 years and pretty cheap.

i second that, belkin has good KVM's. I would go for 4+ ports though, you never know when you might add new setups, i'm ready to upgrade to an 8 port!

I use the top one. $36 and it works great.

I second that. Belkin's design fixes the most frequent problems with KVM switches--wiring interference between keyboard and mouse. I've had my Belkin model for over 2 years.

Nice thanks I'll shop around for a Belkin KVM switch a lot of you seem to use and like them.

I use the Tripp-Lite kvm's on my rack. Double tap the control key and the list pops. scroll and hit enter.

Their cables are pretty heavy duty. Highly recommended.

I have a 32 port Raritan KVM. I can even dial into it or hit it from the internet when I'm away and access all my computers

Its the big box sitting on the middle shelf under the network switches
