Computer nerds, what do you think?
 

I just recently got back into gaming from a long hiatus. I'm thinking of building a dedicated gaming rig with nothing on it but games. I'll use my other box for all the other shit (e-mails, browsing, music) What i'll need is some sort of switch so i can use my keyboard, mouse, and monitor. Gerv and company, what do you guys recommend?

This should work ok.

Bingo, thanks

YAY FOR KVM SWITCHES

is it me or does that thing look really oversized? eek:

heh heh...kinda. It's not very sexy, that's for sure.

where's the flux capacitor on that thing?

Yeah, was gonna say. That doesn't fit Arkan.

Ill ave a looksie at work, see if I can find out what one we are using. Real good thing with buttons instead of a switch, and support for up to 4 comps.

I bought one of [url=http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=belkin+kvm+switches&hl=en&hs=sMR&lr=&cli ent=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official_s&sa=N&tab=ff&oi=froogler:67564]these[/url:67564] for about $20.00 at the local Micro Center. Uses the keyboard to switch between the computers. I run the setup your talking about, a dedicated game computer (A64 - 1 gig mem - 6800GT) and another (who cares) to do the rest of the stuff.

rock:

John J thats the system im running now... id recommend 2 gigs of ram.
