Default Computer nerds, what do you think? - 02-14-2006, 09:14 AM
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?

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.
